Subject: [CR] Cockpit positioning question


Ahoy !

With respect to setting-up several bicycles of various sizes, I am seeking the "Wisdom of The List".

May I ask please: Where does your front axle align with your handlebars/brake lever? That is: as viewed from the side, where does the front axle align fore-aft with respect to handlebars/brake lever? For instance: On one of my bikes, the axle aligns immediately behind where the brake cable passes through the brake lever body.

Thanks.
