What do you think he means by "geometry"? For example, the following: "For those of us used to more modern geometry, the extra top tube looks like overkill," and "Well, it’s mainly about handlebar height and retro geometry to increase comfort." What is "retro geometry?" 71-72.5 head angle, 71.5-71.8 degree seat angle -- perhaps not as steep as many, even most today, but I think the expectation is the bike will be used with a B.17 and everybody always complains about the short rails on a B.17 not working well with steeper seat angles; and of course, if <72 is too slack the world is chock full of zero offset seat posts. But what's any of that got to do with the double top tube? Would anyone here call that "geometry"? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
