Yep you can waste many an hour on Ceeway's site. Rattle Cad is even worse.
I have cheated, using all the dimensions from my bespoke Paulus Quiros which after so many audax miles I know fits me and rides well.
Show us your steel.....its real...

My almost done Roadrat -
To be used for the commute, gravel riding and prolly some touring. Bit of a frankenstein but I'm really enjoying riding it atm. I'm looking to swap out the forks for some steel ones (lopped off too much steerer + want mudguard mounts), need to rejig the bar position a bit, and will probably double wrap the bars, but it's nearly there.

I like that a lot - it's not dissimilar to what I'm trying to do, but at the moment I have not quite enough bits and a frame and fork in grey undercoat because it rains every evening I have the time to paint it!
What frame is it?

Cheers, it's an old Coatic Roadrat - they used to offer a short version of the frame for drops. As you can probably gather I hate logos. The frame was black anyhow, so just covered the logo with a bit of black spray.

Like the "North Road" bars. Better than drops or straight?

They're On One Midges. Jury is still out, but so far really liking them. Main con, is they're pretty wide and the drops wider still - so not much getting out the wind. But that's okay, I'm in no hurry. Pros are the drop position is very stable for rough stuff and fast descents, also they're shallow enuff so they'll actually get used. I'll probably move the bars up to saddle height but will see.

Thanks for the complement. It's a continuing work in progress with a fair bit yet to do.
When I bought the bike, back in April. it had a mismatched pair of very corroded old tyres. (a Michelin "World Tour" whitewall and another brand of amberwall which I can't remember.) So much so, one of them exploded after inflating to the recommended pressure on my first test ride. I replaced both with Raleigh 27" x 1 1/4" Amberwall Sport tyres. The original catalogue description states "Sports Tread - Amber Walled" so I think I'm fairly safe with the cosmetics. They ride very smoothly and don't go bang when I inflate them.

Love the bike! What are the handlebars and where can I get them?

5 posts up - they're On One Midges - a bargain at £15 I guess, but they always look a bit uncomfortable to me - but then looks can be deceiving
