This type of thing is always interesting to know. I agree with you.
The "1" frame I built was designed off of my Pinarello Montello. The only changes I made were to lengthen the top tube by 1cm(fit reasons). The result, geometrically, was perfection for me. I don't understand why there are so many uptight people on this forum but, building is an experience that does alter your perception. But that is mostly a perception of what it takes, skills & alterations you might make to adjust frame feel due to tubing variances. Geometry is geometry, once you have your preference sorted out.
