P.S.
Yes my neighbour's wall needs pointing and the alley needs weeding,the logos don't line up,and the pedals and grips are white,and I don't care.

what's with the seat height – frame too big for you? 🙂

That concrete is in a terrible state.

Those fork stanchions look skinny!

sssssssssshhhhhhhhhh it could be the line in the wall but I suspect that the seat is actually LOWER than the bars …the shame of it!

Frame fits fine,I'd taken the crudguard off for the photo,so the height is a little higher than normal.
ian

ey? the saddles actually higher than it is usually?

Sorry,stanchions only 32mm LOL.
Ian

I'm comfortable with it.
Ian

Really? They look smaller than usual for some reason, maybe i'm just used to skinny frame tubes (steel) which make the fork look bigger.

it looks nice dont get me wrong, but I'd have to say the frames slightly on the large side for you if your saddles usually lower than that.

Nah, he might have long arms and short legs. Top tube length is usually the most important thing.

Ride what you like, it's not like anyone else is going to be riding it, I don't give a monkeys flying **** if people like my bikes or not, they're not for them to be riding.

I like the paint/finish on the frame.

that wall doesn't need pointing !

wasn't very muddy then… you need to find some more 🙂

The wall looks fine – grass needs cutting, mind 😀

Jesmond mud is obviously so posh it cleans itself off for pics 😉

Do you have short legs and a very long body? Just wondered as seat is low and right back on the rails and a long'ish stem….and you've missed a zip tie off the rear brake hose.

Nice bike though!

saddle too low, flat pedals!?!?!, rear brake cable needs reigning in and your logos aren't lined up. Good pointing on the brickwork though.

7/10 good, room for improvement

Agree the wall is in good condition however the OP needs to do some weeding if Im honest.

I'm going to echo the sentiment above – the frame looks too big for you.
You're crown jewels aren't going to have much clearance over the top tube.
(Esp. when you say you're running the seat lower than pictured).

A smaller frame with a layback seatpost would have been the option I would have gone for.

Nice looking bike – I like the build you've gone for.

Glad it's loads of fun too – that's the main thing, eh! Enjoy!
