My cyclocross frame has a 72 degree headtube angle. I'm currently using a fork with a 44 mm offset. I think the handling of the bike is perfect and am trying to duplicate the geometry on my next bike.
The frame I'm considering buying also has a 72 degree headtube angle. The wheel size will be the same, as is the fork length.
The new bike uses a 47 mm offset standard from the factory. However, consider that the headtube angle and tire size is the same as the old frame, I'm going to use my existing 44 mm fork.
I'm assuming that I'm duplicating the geometry of my existing bike as long as the headtube angle, tire size and fork length is unchanged.
Am I correct?
