I don't have one! Maybe I'll snap a pic tonight. That fork is just a replacement because the original one got smashed in a crash.
Re: geometry - I just find I feel stretched out (my torso is somewhat short relative to my limbs). I've always felt more comfortable on track frames with shorter top tubes and steeper geometry than any road bike. I am getting used to this one though.

The frame isn't too big, but it's possible that I was always riding frames that were too small before. That's a 100mm in the shot, there's a 110mm now and I'm thinking of trying a 120mm soon. Also it's possible that my flexibility was **** before and now I'm getting to where I'm more comfortable in a low position.

Caloso, did you change handlebars? I can't get a flat transition from the bar to the hoods on my current set up (ritchey classic shallow).
PS. Gorgeous looking bike.
PPS. Nvmd. Just found my post regarding handlebars (from 08/2010), and the picture hasn't changed.

Hardly race rig porn but this is what I will most likely be racing all this year. Nothing fancy, but I built it as a general purpose mule that I can turn to no matter what shape my other bikes may be in.

That is a nice looking bike. But I just want to make sure......on the top tube it doesn't say 'manocoque' right?
