For the past couple of years ive been riding bikes from ebay and on here that were either too small or too big and if im honest not exactly what i needed.
I only really have space for 1 bike in my current house. Currently thats taken up by my SS beater nag which I love but I think is slightly too short at 54cm tt the equilibrium seems to match the nag quite well in geo (according to my highly accurate diy measurements) but would shift my seat back about 2cm which is exactly what i think I need. It'll also give me gears, disc brakes and mean I can get rid of the slightly too long and low planet x nanolight that ive not ridden much as its stored in @PhilDAS & @Jules basement.
The plan is to build something nice enough that I can ride every day and at the weekends and it will eventually get 2 wheelsets 650b and 700c
It will have sram red groupset with rotor cranks, mudguards (FLAPS!! OBVIOUSLY)
and in the words of the great, natasha beddingfield "the rest is still unwritten"
Which reminds me, if you've not seen this, then you should
