How long has it been since you've seen a new "crit bike?" These pretty much went out of fashion by the late 1970s, no doubt because the guys winning most of the Cat 1 and 2 crits were doing it on pretty conventional road bikes.

Most road bikes these days have a BB drop of 65-70 mm, sometimes on the same model, depending on the frame size.
