Hi all. I want to have an open discussion with those who base bicycle build decisions based on the handling characteristics of the frame geometry.

Trail, HT angle, rake, wheelbase, BB drop, chainstay, etc...
Assume Stack, Reach, and aethetics all fit the bill.

I'm looking to hear from those who are passionate about how a bike handles and feels, and goes a step further to ensure certain characteristics are "carried over" to their next bike build or custom frame -- based on your riding preferences and goals.

I feel it's not discussed as often these days. Are you out there?

That would be basically any custom builder. There are several on the board (including myself).
