Bikes: Too many to list

It is - actually , This is my rendition of a "chubby guy track frame" --- The angles are the same as my lugged Waterford - why mess with success -- but, --

I thought if we were going custom, why not just use a longer headtube rather than a stack of headset spacers --
and to put it in perspective, this is a small to medium size bike to start with -- I ride a 53 or 54 road bike so this trackie has a 53 virtual seat tube and a 55 virtual top tube , but the headtube is more in line with what youd find on a 57 or so
--- My thoughts were the sloping top tube would visually diminish the effects of the long head tube and bring a little more balanced look

-- Its gonna be fun I think ! Being a custom project - I guess you never know until its done - but you have to have faith sometimes
