Small price drop>> £295
No more after this as I'll see how it goes down on another site. -
OK well to answer your question isn't really giving advice about the bike being sold, so a few forumers might fairly complain that the thread shouldn't be bumped up this way, so if you wish to continue this talk after reading this then probably best to pm me. But to give general advice about bike fitment, you should know that my understanding is that with my personal fit on bikes, I put my quite unusual frame size preference down to the fact that I've a quite long legs in relation to my torso (which isn't hugely common) so longer seat tubes don't bother me that much, plus I sit pretty forward in the saddle and have the saddle far forward in the seatpost rails. And with the Look frame here I intentionally used an inline seatpost to also help along the positioning. Plus, there's the fact that the frame has quite a short top tube compared to its seat tube, although ultimately all of this couldn't improve things that much in my case as the frame was still too big for me, but no doubt it might help others in a similar position to me. And of course other riders might have the opposite problem and are considering being cramped on the bike, but I would just say in their case I can swap the seat post for a traditional lay back one, and also fit a longer stem if it's necessary. And there's a good few other tweaks riders can try to improve things.

Righto, just had to check as you hadn't replied previously.

Although you didn't answer my last message I'm assuming you're still interested in the bike. Anyway, you're next in line for it, but if no longer interested I'll pass to the next chap.

Actually, realised that I've made a mistake myself and you're actually next in line. Happy to sell to you or pass on to the next chap.
-
Um, the above isn't quite correct as in fact you're next in line for the bike:) Let me know if you're still interested or if I should pass to another.

I recently bought a set of forks with the specs you mentioned off a chap on ebay. I remember him saying that he had 8 sets all NOS he was selling, so I imagine he'd still have more sets available to buy. Not sure about the offset, but if its pretty standard then the forks should measure up. The forks were well priced. He's based in Enfield but if that's too far for you to trek to then I'm sure he'd post them to you. I'm sure he'll still be selling them on the bay but if not I might still have contact details you can have.

And petition the site Admin to allow its users to have signatures auto included in their posts (as seen on Retrobike et al). Here's mine:
Remember "We were only obeyink orders" at the Nuremburg Trials? This is crap: you people who are involved in or abetting extremism (not just that of the past/another country to ours...) must listen to yourselves/your own orders...
