Anyone know where I can find a classic's geometry, particularly want to know the head angle.

Cheers

The geometry in that list is based on a 85mm fork! I'm riding a 110m fork that I can wind out to 140mm for gnarly decents; that's a whole 3 degrees off the quoted head angle.
I'm 11 stone and ride averagely agressive (don't get more than 3 or 4 ft off the ground)and I've never worried about stressing the frame at all!

The Blur Classic is specced for 100mm so those figures are accurate.

I have 130mm on mine and it rides even better!

Thanks all, yeah I'm not happy about the idea of 71 degree head angle! I'll give it ago running a 140 fork wound down to 130. It was a bargain second hand but... kinda wish I'd just gone for a Heckler maybe.
