my Frame. Sorry for the shotty pic. I plan to pull her apart & put proper paint on her, life gets busy...fast. Anyhow, I like DT shifters, steel frames & feel the "wheel" has been the biggest improvement in modern bikes. So I built up my dream ride using Zero Uno tubing & a geometry that I have found on my favorite handling bikes. What I changed? I sucked the rear wheel up a bit, stretched the reach, out of square opened up the rear triangle for a bigger hub. Result, a very fast steel bike @17lbs. With room for imrovement, if someone wanted to get a little "weight weenie"...
