decided to dig a smaller tyre out for the back and crack on, wheel trued, brakes installed, bars taped, cheeky test ride. Damn this thing is great to ride, think I'm going to enjoy it alot...
Fit wise it seems that a 58 top tube with layback and 100mm stem give me a perfect fit... I've ridden inline posts for quite some time and was pointed out to me recently that I could move back a bit, started out moving saddle back but now am realising that I have long legs and should have been riding setbacks the whole time.
Not my usual way to build things but aside from the frame every part is something cheap... Only things I need now are matching 28c tyres and top tube cable clips as I ordered the wrong size...
