I'm just curious, but can you tell me how it's not more track geometry? Because its 74, 74 with a 30 rake? Does it have a longer wheelbase? I understand that the trial should be about the same as that of my IRO ( with a 72 ht and 43 rake), because trail is the same with
steep ht +low rake = slack ht + high rake
and that a higher rake is actually more stable that low rake

and thanks bbattle, I read through those articles and they really helped me with the angle and rake thing :)

Look at the rider positioning on that bike. It's a wheelie and barspin setup primarily. Typically they're building those bikes with long top tubes to facilitate using extremely short stems while still having useable reach to the bars. The HT angle is steep not because it's a track machine, it's so they can use low rake forks and bar spin them.

Cutter's are for tricks. But Leader makes a frame so you can trick AND track at the same time!

Aluminum............................not my thing
