By "NTACA"

The cyclist is a beast of fairly equable temperament, but one cer- tain way to arouse his ire is to criticise his choice of Equipment, Position or Frame Angles. Many a beautiful friendship has been wrecked irrevocably by a discussion on machines, or by a tactless question on the lines of, "Why on earth do you ride that animated bedstead?"

Equipment and position are two things which lend themselves to the indivi- dual approach, and any rider can rationalise to a certain extent his choice of even the most improbable accessories But mechanical factors such as wheelbase, bracket height, fork rake and frame angles are an entirely different kettle of fish.
