I didn't measure it, I simply asked the question - my friend the triton racer is very reliable. They cannot be 26 degrees and use yokes with such little offset with 19 inch wheels, everybody would be falling off them. The replica frames made in Australia are usually 26 degrees, and use 18 inch wheels - they handle radically differently to original manx frames. If you fit 18 inch wheels to an original featherbed, it usually makes the bike tend to run wide in corners, and it becomes very heavy to ride.

[QUOTE="acotrel, post: 227946, member: 4295"] I didn't measure it, I simply asked the question - my friend the triton racer is very reliable.
