Hi Jullian:

Here are the up to the minute measurements!

- Seat tube = 66cm center to top, 64.5 center to center - Top tube = 60 cm/23 2/3" - Chain stays 41.3 cm/16 1/4" - head angle 74.5 degrees - seat angle 72 degrees - Bottom bracket height, with 700 x 23c tires should be in the range of 27cm/10 3/4"

Racy means to me, pretty zippy! Fast steering, quick handling, hotrod-like!
