right ,ive recently got a ribble frame and very nice it was /is .its 531 c and its very light so when i got it i swapped all the parts over from my singlespeed and used it for my commute ,the frame that i had originally was a steel (gas pipe special i think)thing with track ends for ss specific ,eyelets for a rack/guards and obv diff geometry/more clearance for tyres and stuff,,,
now although this is heavier i really liked the way it rode as a commuter ,it was just a bit less twitchy and it had a longer sloping toptube (in short i liked it better even although it was heavier)
so iv decided to rebuild my old heavy(ish) frameset back up which is fairly straightforward(bb and hs are still fitted ),only prob is i sold the calipers it came with and bought shorter drop ones for the 531 frame ,so now i need diff ones again !!!doh!!!
the 531 frame will b gtng sold on and my other frame will b gtng put back on the road ,iv learned a lesson here that its not all about weight
so, anybody got any long reach calipers
