       I think this is an optical illusion on bikes/frames that are photographed from above. Can anyone with art experience and an eye for proportions (like Dale or Chuck) confirm this? I am always obsessing about bikes I buy on eBay wondering if there is any front end damage because the head tube looks too steep in the pictures. On this frame pic, the steerer isn't aligned/parallel with the head tube, do you agree? Ed Kasper Detroit MI
