Yeah..silly me. Dealt with the same guys that fit the top teams at Peugeot, Gitane, Raleigh....what would I have learned from them
I keep forgetting that you slam the bars and wonder why your back hurts all the time. And shoulders are all hunched because the bars are too narrow.
I was looking at a PY10 the other day and it sure brought back memories.

Just like a bike frame, what you say it important. Had internet buyers come is wondering why things don't feel right...you have to know what the manufacturer is referencing in measurements.
Great point.
