potus, couldn't have said any other way. Even back then frames with laid back geometry was good to go.
We messengered on Atala, Lotus,Panasonic, Olmo,Cinelli. We knew what they were and had fun riding them.
Most rather have a true steep track frame due to it handles better in traffic. That is why I ride 54 cm in traffic. You flow like water.

CEYA!
