TVT Angles?

[rusty bodie]

Does anyone know what the angles were on the mid - late 80s TVT Carbone frames? I'm guessing 73 degree seat, 74 degree head angles..

Thanks,

Craig

Re:

I guess like most off the pegs, it will vary with size.
Smaller = slack head angles and steeper seat angles
Large sizes = steeper heads, slacker seats
..... with it gradually varying as you go up/down the sizes

I can't specifically help, but what size is (are?) Yours?

Thanks for that information - this would make sense, but I have a feeling that TVT made their sizes fairly similarly to the likes of the big Italian frame builders who always seemed to build their frames steep, regardless of size ie 73/74 degrees. I've two TVT frames - one a 58cm, the other a 59cm..

When I googled TVT frame geometry, I found this under the "images" tab... From 1992, and from this site! I love the internet sometimes!

Great find

Re:

Thanks for posting that link. It's maybe just my night shift brain, but I can't see anything about the TVT frame angles there . . :?

Re:

You should be able to calculate them using H and I from the table.

What's the formula to calculate using H and I? Could you whack it into Excel and let it do the hard work?
