I figure medium-high would be 55mm. And normal would be 45mm (Dolan DF3/DF4).
The Little Wing has a 58mm BB drop. I'm not sure how normal is defined today, but I suspect there might be different normals for sprint, omnium, and pursuit frames. My current omnium-style bikes have 51mm(XTRACK), 55mm(Argon18), and 58mm (Paramount) BB drops. In looking at the Dolan geometry, it looks to be totally out of whack for me; the differences in reach and stack are pretty big when compared to my current bikes. I don't see how I could be comfortable on a DF3/4, but I don't find narrow bars comfortable either, so maybe I'm just a dinosaur.
