Aaahhh! You must've read about my previous project/triumph!!! :-) http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/231778/
Yeah, I learned a lot from that project and looks like this one is going the same way doesn't it.
I'll delve deeper at lunchtime and have a look at the Crank spider and frame spacing again but yeah, I agree the frame looks huge for an off-the-peg SS/FG bike but thats what it was sold as according to the original owner, no de-gearing or conversions, he's not 'that type'.... whereas I am. In the flesh it does look like a 'Mountain Bike' but with the addition of Track Ends in place of vertical dropouts. My 27 y/o Daughter has a geared version of this bike if it comes to it I'll get her to do a few measurements for me, I'd do it myself but she lives with her fella down in Surrey.
I like a challenge :-) I build Valve based Hifi Amplifiers for a hobby too, usually in Single Ended topology. pushes glasses up bridge of nose and blinks awkwardly
