    Not sure if a bad EPG would put us off.

    We are only ever going to watch Virgin or DVD’s on it.

    I have one & love it!

    Find it comes up small though – I have a 44″ chest & the XXL is a perfect fit.

    You wont be disappointed.

    “Anyone made a Pluepig 650b?”

    Is this really a benefit?

    I can understand 650b & definitely 29″ (as I have one)

    But, cramming 650b wheels on a 26″ specific frame – I assume you have to run a narrower tyre (less volume) for clearance……

    = not much gain?

    Might be your seat collar?

    Id take it off, clean & re-grease.

    All depends on inside leg & arm measurements.

    Im 6′ 3″ with a 34 / 35″ inside leg, average arm length.

    Even after a trip to my lbs, I opted to go against what they suggested (58cm) & ended up with a 61cm.

    I can honestly say im glad I did – the bike is unbelievably comfortable (Specialized Roubaix)

    chip:

    Those adult stabilisers only do up to 26″ wheel size? :roll:

    Surely no-one rides 26″ nowadays?

    Get with it Amazon!

    Won’t be buying those.

    Looks dodgy to me, not half as dodgy as this twit with the tash though! ;-)

    2013 RS Revelation RCT3 Solo Air on mine & it feels spot on.

    Had to buy a new cartridge to get them to 120 tho :-(

    Not 100% sure, but those forks in the CRC link might adjust to 120 with spacers but the A-C length might stay the same making it high at the front & geometry would be all to pot……

    An S-Works one on the bay atm – BIN £5295……

    Bargain??? :roll:

    Seems he has built it up from scratch with an even lesser spec than an ‘off the peg’ one & asking the above.

    Its nice to dream :-)

    I would class myself as very bike fit :lol:

    I definitely owe it to being lucky enough to cycle to work (only 6 miles a day)

    But, it helps me keep on top of the fitness & kick ass at the weekend on both road bike & mtb.

    Nothing like blowing yer own horn! :-)

    P.S. Cannot run worth a fu** btw.

    I run the Hope equivalent, can’t say I notice it stiffer.

    It will definitely fit though.

    Helly Hansen Warm Freeze is excellent imo.

    Its Lifa on the inside & Merino wool on the outside, nice & toasty! :-)

    I’m 6′ 3″ – 34″ inside leg & ride an XL Solaris.

    It is such a great all-rounder! I sold my SC Nomad, now just use the Solaris, suits the riding I do so much better.

    Sticking with it for a while yet.

    Only thing id swap it for is a 2souls QH, but they are silly money! (Nice tho…….)

    Im sure you won’t disappointed with either, my mate had a Soul & loved it.

    Evoc 10cc. Perfect bag for all occasions.

    Cannot fault mine, as already mentioned its nice & low-profile.
