Rock Lobster Plans



I'm posting this here so that I don't lose it but Paul sent me the actual design layout he used to build my Cross Euro bike in 2011. Since he nailed the geometry, I don't want to lose this valuable (to me) piece of info.  Besides if I ever get another cyclocross/road bike built by him, I would use the same geometry.

Seat tube (c-c): 482 mm
Seat tube (c-t): 529 mm
Effective top tube: 540 mm
Top tube (actual): 524mm
Top tube rise angle: 8 degrees
Head angle: 71 degrees
Seat angle: 75.5 degrees
Chainstay: 424 mm
Head tube: 129 mm
Bottom bracket drop: 71 mm
Rake: 41 mm
Dropout to crown race: 400 mm
Front center: 602 mm
Stack: 571 mm
Reach: 392 mm
Wheelbase: 1014 mm

Extras that Paul did for me: pump peg, chain hanger, sterling silver headbadge, drain hole (with plug) on bottom bracket and braze-on chain guide under bottom bracket.

Edit 9/12/2013.  If I did it again, frame would fit a standard crankset (I told Paul I would only use a compact crank so this was my fault), won't have chain hanger since I have rarely used it, have front fork drilled for caliper brakes so I can use as fender mount, front fender mount and have room for Stages power meter (this came out after I got the frame).
