Front and Center

[merckx]

I understand that there are no absolutes with frame geometry, however I have an inquiry about front centers. As a general rule, do frames with steeper seat angles have longer front centers, and frames with shallower seat angles have shorter front centers? I understand that frame geo is a gesault thing, but how does the front center work with the STA?

all things being equal, steeper seat angles
yield longer front center measurements atmo.

How would a frame handle if it had a 72 deg. STA on a 60 cm c-c with a longish front center. And......how does chainstay length factor into the equation with the front center length? I do understand that you would need longer chainstays with a shallower STA. Enlighten me.....please.

there is no way to tell, so...


put the keys in and take her for a spin atmo -
and then tell us! oh, and empty the ashtrays!
