Traitor Cutlass
Formerly, a Windsor Timeline, which was only that name by frame, since I had swapped all original parts out one-by-one. See it here.
The geometry is perfect! It was actually the only frame I could find with this combination of geometric features: 34c+ tire clearance and use of medium reach (43-57mm) brakes, long top tube - 565mm (I got gorilla arms, bitches!), short head tube - 122mm, and relaxed angles that compound to give ZERO toe overlap up to 30c tires.
The build quality is good, but not great. The paint job was over and under applied in some areas and chips easily. Also, one of the seat stays is slightly misaligned where it's welded to the seat tube.
The ride is awesome, though. The 54 cm frame, which comes in at about 4.6 lbs with it's double-butted main triangle, feels very solid, while absorbing some of the NYC road and path roughness (Steel is real!).
