i was in Je James in Sheffield today and they had a black one. Not sure what size but looked bigger than a small so either a medium or large.

Definitely had a black one though. In the little shop accross the road.

Hectic did look a very good deal.

Spoke to JE James and they only had medium and small Mega's.

Wondering if I picked up the last large mega in the uk...? Should be arriving today, quite excited.

Ah Blower glad you got it. Thought it was a medium to be honest.

Lovely looking well built frame in the flesh.

I thought the Hectic headtube would mean a change of forks....but I just bought the reducer headset from Superstar for 40 squid. Means I can still use my Fox 36's with 1 1/8th steerer.

I could have the total wrong end of the stick here but isn't the seat tube shorter on a medium frame ?

With a adjustable seat post I whack it high when i need to pump the pedals and can just knock it down for technical stuff - suits me either way 😀
