"Classic" geometry?
« on: July 04, 2015, 11:00:55 AM »
I've been looking for a new frame, something a bit shorter and lower than my Lurch. I'm looking for something with a 13.65-13.75" backend, 11.75" BB, 71° ST, 8-9" standover and 74-74.5° HT. That's what I think "classic" geo is, anyway. Or am I just out of touch? Does anybody still make a frame like this anymore? I know about the Pedal Driven Kool Thing, but is that it?

Pretty much, and I can't recommend that frame enough!

I have similar taste in geo but I also like to run a gyro, which narrows frame choices down to like 3.  Just now building up a bike after about a 3 year hiatus, surprised how much has changed.

its real simple to tap holes for gyro tabs and also if you're buying direct from fbm/etc they could do it.

I was looking at the Fit Hartbreaker frame, and noticed that Fit can customize the geo for you. (customs page). I think the only change you'd have to do on that one is the BB height. They have an option for 11.7. Really cool looking frame. Some cool out there options too, like Mid or Euro BB, Chainstay, Seatstay, or V brake mounts. No doubt Gyro mount holes.

You just described a T-1 Ruben geo on the 21.15" TT frame...
