That sounds about right to me, Eric. I'm guessing something that is kind of like a Leo Roadini with cantilever brakes, clearance for 50mm tires and Quickbeam-style ends. I hope it has a long front center to avoid TCO. My Crust Florida Man has no TCO with 700x50 tires, and I think that's awesome. My 58cm Quickbeam has a tiny bit of TCO with a 700x42 front tire, and it's annoying. I'd gladly run a 2cm shorter stem with a 2cm longer front-center and the same HTA.
