Classy hot... Every once in a while I get the itch to get a Smoothie and build it up but there are so many steel frames out there (new, used, and NOS) I never can settle on one... anyhow,

Sorry no turtle but I had to shoo a chicken out of the frame.

There IS no wrong position for the crank, and there's nothing wrong with tha garmin. There's only opinions.
Just like you say, when the bike looks good it looks good regardless.

I had that exact Trek years ago. Was my first and only road bike for awhile...then my rain bike / beater / commuter for several more years. Kind of a tank, but it held up to a lot of abuse...
