Good article! While we’re dreaming, I’d take a Nicolai rear end, with the mutators & everything, on a custom steel, no make that Ti, front end.
In my version, the rocker pivot and forward shock mount are both part of one big machined piece that bolts to the downtube, for excellent alignment and future-proofing.
My custom geometry has a stretched reach for a really short stem, but steeper-than-current head tube, like 66. I’m going on the theory that front center is more important than head angle for my riding.
