Thanks for that. I did a few quick (not nearly as nice as the ones you provided!) calculations and found that +/- 2 degrees of "adjustment" would allow a full range of sizes to be built with a given set of lugs.
On that note, do you have any suggested reading about
how to adjust the lug angles? I've run across references to the Paterek Manual. Would this be a good start in my remedial framebuilding studies?
Many thanks for all the help here, folks!
cheers!
