  • Looking good by the way... What the weight of the frame including headset and seat clamp?

  • ^^^^^ I suspect you might have quoted the wrong person there?

    Also, if that seatpost extension is correct, I reckon you might have longer legs than me :-/

  • Hmm... that is an awful lot of seatpost. Then again, you can never have to much ;-)

  • It can come with either but I got it second hand and the owner chose the Dolan road fork.
    It will eventually get a fake 3t funda.

    straight forks with too much rake looking ugly.

    frame and seat clamp for size 58 are 1.14kg (acc. to my scales)

  • ^Same on mine.
    I threw some old wheels on to take it round the block tonight but I can't find my bloody chain breaker.

  • Just been for a ride on this with the temporary wheels and it's a completely different beast to the Dave.
    So stiff and quick off the line but I am gonna need a longer seatpost and a shorter stem for it to be more comfy on longer rides, far too stretched out as is and the post has past the minimum insertion line.

  • Here's a bad pic of it with the beater wheels.

    Slack chain is for Lynchman ;)

  • you need the seatpost LONGER?

  • Fork look fine.

    Show us a photo of your other bike for comparison.

  • Yeah about 1/2 inch more should be enough for now.

    I've got long legs.

  • 50cm saddle to bar drop

  • I think going up a frame size would be better than getting a longer seatpost/shorter stem.

    What reach you'd gain with a bigger frame size would surely be negated by the decrease in saddle to bar drop

  • 50cm saddle to bar drop

    I'm pretty used to it.

  • Do a lots of hamstring stretching and you'll be fine on the drop.

  • super aero

  • I would go for an alu steerer fork so you can have a handful of spacer under it to help with the saddle to bar drop.

  • Do you have any torso Indra? Didn't you say you were around 6'? I'm 6'2" and have less post than that

  • Do a lots of hamstring stretching and you'll be fine on the drop.

    super aero

    I'm young and very flexible anyway, I can deal with it how it is just not too comfy with such a long stem.

  • those saddle angles with that drop...

    shudders

  • Do you have any torso Indra? Didn't you say you were around 6'? I'm 6'2" and have less post than that

    I'm just about 6 now I think, haven't measured in a few months.
    I have an inseam of just under 37" though, that's like huge.
    I don't have much torso and average to short arms.

  • "Slack chain is for Lynchman ;) "

    ...as is the gigantic stack of spacers upraising the stem into a different dimension to the rest of the bike, I presume.

    Bet you love the drop on mine.

  • don't listen to ^^ .. looking cool will be worth sweet FA when your neck is toast

  • Bet you love the drop on mine.

    I'm afraid to say that I've given up looking at your bikes Ed, they stopped making sense ages ago..
