Its got gears! Its got suspension! Its got regular size wheels! Its not made of steel! Get off this forum!
I like the colour there Rob.
s'alright s'uppose 😉
Nice, I will be finishing my quick lime 18" today. The colour is so much nicer in the flesh, it doesn't seem to come out in pics.
That looks good - if I only I had the money for another bike build...
looks pretty sweet Dude.
The photos do not do the green justice 🙂
For once, it's the correct size frame with the right sort of seatpost amount on show being showed on this forum except for mine of course 😉
first ride was quite good - dark and only a torch to see with ruined it a touch. Will see what saturday brings 🙂
Rob....looks good....we've just finished John's today....very similar spec, I suspect that it'll be pictured on here soon!!
I'm curious though - why use a dealer in Edinburgh as opposed to one on your doorstep? We've got those frames in stock!!
Enjoy!
because he is a good lad and he emailed me when i was musing on here 🙂 Popped in on you yesterday (when man with broken carbon crankset came in) - you have a great shop!
Odd choice of rims for such a bike. Are they not XC racer style rims?
very nice Rob, looks like a lot of fun!
Rickos - all i had. They are 21mm inside diameter so wider than 819s that a lot run and good for 2.3 tyres. Plenty strong enough
Aye, fair enough. I thought they were 17mm inside. Every day's a school day.
runs off to get ruler 😉
The Stan's No Tubes ZTR 355 Disc Rim is crafted from 6061 aluminum and is drilled for 32 spokes -- no eyelets. The rim’s width is [b]24.4mm[/b]
mine is the o/s diameter. 355 is same as the arch inside
hi rob, how tall are you? I'm sorely tempted by one of these, currently on an 18" 456 which is fine, but ragley site wont load on phone for some reason so cant compare, but heard they come up shorter in tt length...
Cheers
187cm (6ft 1.5") - it has a 50mm stem on it and it feels good. 18" frame btw
nice one, i'm 6'2" and will be sticking my 70mm stem on it, hhmm runs off to check bank 🙂
Cheers
