Never had anything as nimble and well behaved since. <

Does anyone have any internet links, to a primer or framebuilder data on frame geometry? More specifically, covering the head tube angle and trail?
Ideally, also as relating to wheelbase and center of gravity height?

But just the info on racing, versus track, criterium, frame geometry would be great.

I can't find my Framebuilder's book by Talbot in all of my boxes... HELP!
I have my copy of Talbot, but I'm having trouble seeing what questions you have that you need answered. Are you looking to understand the meaning of trail and how it depends on HTA, or in how to choose values for trail and HTA, in order to get a specific result from a bike design?

There are a lot of frame geometries on line. Do you need links? What kind of bike do you want the geometry for?
