The first thing you should do is put a brake on it.

more aggressive geometry and track ends instead of horizontal drop outs.

seat tube angle is more perpendicular with the ground, head tube also. shorter rake with the fork. tighter wheelbase, tighter tire clearance, shorter chain stays, etc etc.

I would guess the OP is not a native English speaker.
