Agreed. At 6ft 3, my entire 'stable' look more like the gates preventing the horses from getting out, and don't talk to me about Marmite bikes! I think a few of mine invented the saying!

Always wished I was short enough for small bikes, they do always look nicer and my high centre of gravity makes me rubbish round bends (well that's my excuse for poor bike handling anyway!)

everything in this picture except the spokes is made from aluminium ti carbon or magnesium

Am I missing something? It's a wheel, everything is made of those materials… Except possibly the disc, what's that one made of? Having tried alu discs they don't really work, and I'd rather have steel ones!

The vast majority of bits in this photo are made of carbon, with some ti and alu bolts for good measure!

ti disks ,,,

That's nothing.

This hub is made from mangos.

Not perhaps to my personal taste, but then that Maverick, that Trek and that Ti456 are not either.
