It seems as if that would be because that Peugeot has no trail, correct?


Does anyone know some approximate values that one typically finds in a 'twitchy' frame? Ex: head tube angle, seat tube angle, chain stay length, top tube length, wheelbase, etc?

What might someone surmise about a frame like this?
