  18. Hi Paul, just had a look at milages. Calais - Ventoux 470m. Bilbao - Ventoux 593m Enjoy the skiing, where are you going ?
  19. Hi Tony, never heard of the centre of front wheel spindle to centre of footrest dimension before. Had to go straight out and check the bike I like the handling of, exactly 39". Good post.(wheelbase 53")
  20. With wider footrest you also get a greater degree of leverage, on small rests your foot could only pivot. I personally have "modernised" the position for comfort, wouldn't be surprised if the centre of gravity is much the same for a smaller rider in the original position, versus a taller rider in more modern position.
