I'n sure they'll be good bikes, a solid paint option would probably sell better though.

waiting on the new prince albert*.

no matter how kind i am to my forks, i know that one day i will not be able to get a set of 1&1/8th steerer forks and from there my prince albert classic will have to be semi retired

I've enjoyed my Dialled Alpine so I'm interested in seeing the geometry on these.

Agree the colours are awful though! Maybe it's what sells in the US?!

the built up alpine looks great, not sure the pic above does the frame justice

Sorry the colours are not to everyone's taste. Historically, the most popular Alpine colours were solid green and solid red, so I wanted to keep some of that heritage but not just repeat the same colours and graphics as before.

HA 66 degrees
SA 74 degrees
TT Length: 23.5" (16" frame) & 24.25" (18" frame)
Chain Stays: 430mm/16.93"
BB Height: 12"

All based on a sagged 140mm travel fork.

I don't think that photo does the frames justice. I noticed another photo on your website, and thought the green/back frame looked great.

There are some other photos on @dialledbikes Instagram which show them from better angles and built up.

I've been doing this long enough to know I can't please all the people all the time (or even some people any of the time 😉 ) so I'm not offended by negative comments.

27.5 Prince Albert - looks like I will have to join the wheel fashion parade after all 🙂

They look alright built up, certainly something a bit different.

The 27/27+ thing makes more sense than a lot of HTs which are supposed to be 29/27+ compatible, in terms of not changing the BB height so much.

Yes, sorry dickyboy, I'm not sure what the situation is in the UK, but over here in the US the choice of 26" rims and tyres seems pretty limited compared to 27.5 now.
