Thats really nice, are you sure you dont need someone to try it out for you ......... no ..... damn.

 

[iGaz]

It weighs exactly 20lbs. I reckon with a few changes like wheels/tyres etc I could get it lighter.

 

[betty swollocks]

It's very nice.
You're quite a tall fellow are you: looks a pretty big frame?

The frame is 59 from center of BB to top of seat tube.

red bikes are always faster!

Nice colour...... I like that...cracking bike.

You are a tall fella.....

 

[iGaz]

I am tall, and some days I hate being tall! More so when it comes to buying clothes, even more with buying bikes. All the good second hand bikes and bikes that are on offer in the shops etc, are all too small for me! I got lucky with this frame!

 

[e-rider]

Surely a black seatpost would make it go even faster!

Lovely looking bike, and so satisfying doing your own build I find. Shame about the choice of groupset though
