For 100+ mile events I need a 200mm heat-tube and long reach brakes or a CX frame with a 185+mm head-tube length. I work with a professional fitter and my current CX bike and 1987 Trek road bike fit perfectly.

Someday I'll have a custom Ti bike built, but not now.
Don't fly in a modern airplane then. Or drive the latest Mercedes creation.
