Yeah, they are pretty much typical French geometry of the old days or what they call stage racing bikes. I like to have a shorter top tube and a higher BB. I went from my "slow" LeMond to the first Giant, slop top tube, alum. bike imported to the US. It was given to me. That thing was dangerous coming down hill at speed. it taught me to pay attention. i think I like to have something in between. I am shock to hear that modern steel is as light as mid price carbons. My LeMond has to weight much more then that. If I am going to have a frame built, I like to have it all weight, looks (simple single color), and performance and etc..


This thing will be a toy only. My racing blood stopped boiling a long time ago. I like to get back in shape for the hammerhead club rides. No centuries, touring or anything like that.
