Craig has been an avid road cyclist for years and has owned some fine machines for that discipline. Those bikes brought him past many side roads he wanted to explore. So we looked at his position on his carbon road racer, maintained what was comfortable from it, lowered the bottom bracket, lifted the stack just a bit, relaxed the head angle, and gave him room for 700x44 mm tires.
Craig is now happily exploring all those side roads and a little single track!
