LOL. To my surprise, I can't get enough of this bike. I've always ridden bikes with 73 degree seat angles and head angles between 71.5 and 73 degrees. This thing likely has a 70 seat angle and 67.5 head angle. I've read a lot of Grant Petersen's writing and his advocacy of slacker angles (slacker than modern but way higher than this old bike) but this is my first experience with it. It's probably a combination of factors that makes me like it but I've set this up as a single-speed with one brake and it's the only bike I'm riding right now. My new $1600 bike is gathering dust.
