Radical Compact frame Geometry II
This is my extensively modified Roubaix Elite. Can't wait til I can afford to put tires on it and see how it works. Actually, just got my property settlement check and thought I would celebrate by sharing this pic of my previous bike.

The front wheel doesnt clear the down tube . Minor design flaw.

Glad you're alright. Amazing how those Al tubes buckle! Although I doubt any frame would have survived that insult unscathed. Except for maybe an old straight-gauged lugged 30lb steel monster!

Still working on optimal seat angle. But notice 90 degree steering offset and special "mashed" drop bars. Makes going straright easier when you can line up one hand behind the other. Big help with that "front wheel doesn't clear down tube" feature.
