My custom steel road bike

Not a ww at all, but I am satisfied with it. Frame is stiff and comfortable. I use it for races too.

It is custom, seat tube has 49 cm center-center, top tube 57.6 cm. Have you ever seen non-custom frame with this geometry?

Well... I've been doing this for about 25 years now and I've seen lots of custom road frames in that time. None of the ones that were properly fit/sized for their owner required that the saddle be positioned all the way forward along the rails like that. To each their own I guess...
-- Don't get me wrong, it looks really nice.

I think a non offset post would look bether, but that's the man's choice.
