  • what size is the bb to top of the top tube + length of front top tube please?

  • (A) 57mm -centre of BB to top of top tube.
    (B) 21 1/4 inches.

  • price reduced - for photos and description see posting 5 days ago.

  • Don't make another post. Ask Velocio or myself to edit the title. How much: £350 ONO?

  • I want this but don't know if I'd ever use it.... nor do I have anywhere to store it...

  • ditto. V pretty though.

  • Mark, you can store it at mine?!

    If I had the money I'd buy it in a shot...

  • I've already sent a message to Adrienne, ha! (not about storing it at yours, but just a "wouldn't it be nice!" type thing)

  • Just as a free bump for the thread - I went down to Headcorn and test-rode this today. Unfortunately both me and my stoker are on the large side for it by a margin just exceeding that achievable through adjustment, so we had to leave empty handed. But we left with grins on our faces. It's a lovely bike; light, nippy and promises to be loads of fun for whoever ends up with it. Hope it ends up in a loving home.

  • What were your heights, 6pt?

  • 6ft2 for me, can't speak for the stoker but I'd guess 5 10? I ride a 58 normally and he's on an apparently 51 Orbea, but he had some real trouble with knee/bar clearance on the back. Compact vs traditional geo confusions maybe. He's a lurker on here, 'roadie' I think, if you wish to message him about it.
    With the right bars and stem I could have just about got it right for me at the front, but it really was a lost cause for him. Still a blast to ride, mind, but too much of a compromise for the kind of distances we'll be aiming for.
    According to the owners, the couple it was built for were quite a bit shorter, "up to your shoulders, at a stretch", she told me. And the back really is tight, even with the massive setback post. Hope that clears things up for you!

  • Hmm, same height up front, shorter person on the back... so many bikes I want right now. and no room. ugh.

  • You might just be able to make this one work for you! Beyond that, we are in tandem acquisition competition and I refuse to be of any further assistance. Good day sir!
    Hrumph.

    (Good luck!)
