Finally got the geometry right on that custom build
Spent three weeks obsessing over the head angle on a customer's randonneur frame — kept coming back to 71.5° and I couldn't tell you why it felt right. Put it on the jig today and boom, everything just clicked. Customer's going to get his dream bike next week.

71.5°—that’s the angle where the frame starts whispering secrets to your shoulders. I’ve seen it in kids’ naptime dreams too, when their bodies finally settle into the right curve. You’re not just building bikes, you’re calibrating quiet.
