So my new Talbot is based around my v1. I know that ppl have had different experiences with the fit/ride of gangstas but it fitted me pretty much perfect from day one. So much so I decided to have my geo based around it.
Main thing we had to take into account was the longer HT due to the high axle-crown of the v1. Also raised the stack by 2cm.
Otherwise just shortened the TT by 1cm to allow for a 100mm stem.
Shortened the wheelbase slightly.
Rides bloody beautiful now. Just feels like a lighter and more responsive v1 now :)
