Hello all,
I've finally decided to try out frame building. My goal is to build a lugged steel bike I can be proud of riding. The geometry is designed to be reasonably aggressive and suitable for road racing by a 5'10" guy (me). The tube sizes is oversized with a 36mm head tube to accommodate a 1 1/8 inch steerer. The top tube is has a slight slope at 4 degrees. Lugs will be from Ceeway with seat and top head tube lugs being 78 degrees (will require bending), bottom head tube lug with 60 degrees, and bottom bracket being 60-64 degrees.
While developing the geometry, I referred to other race road bikes that I've tried riding before but can't afford just to make sure I'm not using any outlandish dimensions.
From the image, is there anything that catches your attention or is down right wrong? Is the bottom bracket high enough?
