that's a great idea. i'm going to find the geometry for the de bernardi. how's a rush compare to a DiBernardi Thron Track Frame? only reason i'm looking to swap frames is because my 49cm rush is just a bit small for me. dunno if there will be much difference between a 49 and a 51 though... id be just right at 52.
