[Closed] Dialled Bikes Alpine - a question of size...

Looking at [url= http://www.dialledbikes.com/techspec/alpine.html ]this[/url] page it appears that you can have the frame in a choice of 2 top-tube lengths for a given seat-tube length.

Is this the case or am I missing something?

I think mike has altered the bike sizing I'm sure he will be along soon.

but you are right on the old sizes

He has! Seem to remember he's going up to 23.25" on the big size, and 21.25? on the small.

I think it's 22.25" on the small and it now has a 16" seattube not a 15.5".

Any ideas on colours? I'm hoping they're the same tbh, not sure if that counts as a major revision or not...

Cheers for the info guys.

I really should've looked at the Dialled Bikes news page before asking questions. I've been after a Kawasaki green bike for ages - it's fate I tells ya...

...wanders off to send the Dialled Bikes man some money.

My 15.5"/21" is a bit too short me thinks, and I may be on the 'dog and bone' to Mike tomorrow for a new longer one.

and although I have not seen the colours yet the Kwaker green don't half sound good.

Yes, yes it does... 8)

Just emailed asking to pre-order one, hopefully I'll hear from them tomorrow.

I take it you really like yours if you're buying a 2nd?
