any idea if it would be on a 53cm kilo tt? i have no idea how to measure angles
i know that a -17 is supposed to create a 0 degree rise on most bikes...no idea what that translates into with track geometry

not really...i get it.
it also seems that people usually start on the forum with "how do i convert my bike to a fixed gear" then two weeks later after being on the forums they post "nyce tarck bike broooo.....u needz arrospok blahh blah blah"
seems pretty lame and tired....just my opinion though and my opinions are probably "tarck"

Easton EA70.
If you want to go to a 90mm Jenson USA has the EA70 for $19. That's pretty freaking cheap.
