Dear Massive (if that's your real name),
Paterek did not come up however, we seem to have established 3 things:

1. First an individual had a bike that he remembers going very fast on and the bike handled very well; said handling attributed to 'Crit Geometry'.
2. Second, several people agree there is something called 'Crit Geometry' as proven by a website quoting same
3. Third, several people agree that 'Crit Geometry' is marketing speak and loosely translates to 'slightly steeper HTA and STA combined with more or less fork rake and slightly higher BB and shorter stays but well within the realm of what is generally agreed to be a Classic Road Bicycle'.

Happy Friday Everyone,
Duane
