Sabbath Mondays Child?

[deejayen]

I just wondered if anyone had tried these. The blurb says it has aggressive geometry, but I'm not really sure what that means.

I've tried to compare it against some Spa models, including their Audax model, but not all their geometry charts include the same data. The Mondays Child obviously doesn't have mudguard clearances, and it has half or one degree steeper seat \ head tube angles (although at 73 degrees they're the same as Mercian's Audax Special model). It also has a shorter wheelbase than the Spa Audax, but a slightly taller head tube.

Is it likely to be an uncomfortable riding position? How would it compare to a typical racing bike of the 1980's (eg Reynolds 531 1" tubes with a horizontal top tube)?

I would rather have a Thursday's child. It will have further to go.

I'd drop Spa an email (you may wait a few day) or give them a call 👍🏻

I think it will be a fast road frame 73 is a moderately upright angle tbh. Tourers woul be 72" race bikes 74°

Bigger tyres will makes a bigger difference..
