Do you know of any road bikes with similar geometry to the BK? I'm looking to build up a road bike in the coming months, but I've never been more comfortable on a frame than my Bare Knuckle. I always hear people describe it as having "tight track geometry" so I'm worried that finding a similar road frame won't be easy. Thanks for any insight.

if you don't mind going oldschool 1990 and older cannondale road bikes with the 'crit' designation have undersquare geometry[taller seat tube, shorter top tube] with steep headtubes. i have a 1990 sr600 crit that by comparision is way more aggressive than some bikes marketed as 'track geometry.' rear spacing is odd at 128mm as the 7 speed bikes were 126mm while the duraace 8 speed of the time had gone to 130mm.

and as a fast commuter setup 1x8


currently half way built up as a SS.
