Hi,

Quite some time has passed for planning my next frame - First of all, a big thank you to this forum for being a source of inspiration and learning.

My first and current frame is a testbed that I'd like to build on for my next project.
The impressions of about 2000 mls riding under various conditions, changes in components (saddle and pedals, specifically) and some modern frames - Gaulzetti has been a big inspiration for this - have given me some ideas where I can improve.

Here's the geometry I would like to do:

Nothing spectacular? Here's the point: I'm not sure.

Would you share your thoughts on it?

- Do you think the headtube angle is too steep? Current frame has 73°, a 110mm stem (albeit -10°), 55mm trail and was a bit wiggly during a crit
- Current frame has a wheelbase of about 955mm - Is this more important for stability than headtube angle?
- Do you think the chainstays are too long?
- What do you think could improve the handling of this frame?

I'm mostly concerned about stability. I want this thing to be planted, but not sluggish. But it should be rather leaning towards sluggish then towards wiggly.

I know I'm asking a lot to wrap your heads around this. But I'm happy with any contribution.

Kind regards

Chris
