Head tube angle 74.4, seat tube angle 76, wheelbase min38.5! max39.5 (the rear dropout is a long horizontal slot and you can adjust the fore-aft positioning/distance, in order to tension your chain or just shorten your wheelbase if you want to. This is a 24 inch frame (24" c-c ST (about 24.5 c-t), 23.5 c-c top tube).
And with it's Columbus Zeta tubing (low end but stiff as hell), it's pretty good at transforming energy into motion, and doesn't bend a bit while manoeuvering.
Just thought I'd add that for the fun of it, although it has nothing to do with the Cambio Rino road bike I'm looking for.

That IS a pretty tight frame! Can you measure the rake (aka offset) of the fork? Then we could calculate the trail, which is what really gives an indication of steering behavior.
