Torn between a 15" and a 17". Anyone ridden both and can provide some feedback? I'm 5'7" with a 29" inside leg and currently ride a 17" PA.

diawl2, my recommendation is go for a 15" to replace your 17" and swap your current 50mm stem for a 60-70mm stem.

I am so tempted but I have an Alpine which I love and a Soul which is fun and an old Kona Explosif, so can I justify another (4th) 853 hardtail frame?? The price doesn't help as it is such a good deal. I wish I could make a decision....

fd3chris, I reckon a 17". I'm the same height and my previous/next one are 17 inchers. Feels like a good size with a 50mm stem.

Fd3chris defo a 17" IMO. Then work with the stem length to suit you.

The holeshot in gloss red is the red that will used for the new 853, looks great! Especially with a white set of revs and black finishing kit.

I'm very tempted, but would I notice the difference that much compared to my 725 version I ask myself. It's like 853 is a magic number. Plus I like the kwak green a lot and im not someone who gets hung up on bike colours. Plus I would have time to save up too..... Decisions decisions....

I now have enough pre-orders to make this project worth doing.
I'll confirm the order with the factory this week and the frames are likely to land late July.
Pre-order book will stay open at £295 price until 28th Feb.

Does anyone know how much the deposit is?
Ive asked Mike and he answers every question but this!Posted 3 months ago # -
from twebsite:
For those who have pre-ordered already, we’ll be sending an e-mail out about the £195 deposit within the next week or so. If you don’t want to wait, you can send a cheque for £195 (payable to Dialled Bikes Ltd) to Dialled Bikes, PO Box 420, Epsom, Surrey, KT19 7WD. The £100 balance will be payable closer to the time of the frames arriving in the UK.
email received about deposit, but had to look back to website to find out how much it is.

Sorry if my e-mail yesterday about the deposits did't say how much (it's half-term, I have distractions), but as Ned's pointed it out on the site, so hopefully everything is clear now.
Pop Larkin, if you've e-mailed me and haven't received a reply, please resend as I'm pretty sure I replied to all my outstanding e-mails this morning.
