Headset still isn't here :-( Itching to try it out. I've bought a russian Juna disc to go on the rear, its in a tatty state so will suit the frame nicely. Going to loctite a cog on the rear I think as theres no lockring thread. Picked up a cheap nitto pearl 10 on eBay to use with the blue nitto risers (don't worry, hidden beneath bar tape). Its getting my shittiest flite saddle.
Here are some frame details:
The seat post fitting is a little strange, there are gaps at the side however it is tight and the post isn't slipping.
Heres a pic showing how crazy the geo is, the top tube is stupidly steep. Seat tube and head tube angles are also steep. I'm worried about not fitting it but I think the geo is off putting, the effective top tube length is only 54cm. I just won't have a huge amount of seatpost showing.
That did cross my mind but looking at the bb height, with the 650c fork it is already pretty high, especially compared to the Tommasini. Putting a 700c fork in would make is abnormally high no?
