  • Also "custom" with Mielec isn't for the size. I ordered a frame size M. I never gave my measurements or anything. It's custom in the sense that I chose all the tubes of the frame specifically, shape and diameter. And he made the tapered headset on request, something he had never done before.

    Shit fixie skidders say

    Fit is more important than tube selection, and I’d trust a frame builder to chose appropriate tubing. So custom tube choice is a weird option when fit is more crucial.

  • Well to each his own I guess. My interest was being able to choose everysingle tube of the frame, design something unique.
    I own 6 track bikes/fixies, carbon, aluminium and steel. Each has a different geometry and size. I don't give a damn, i adapt to the bikes, enjoy the hell out of every one of them.

    Danyutz a -17' stem will result in a quasi horizontal stem, kinda parallel to the road if you will.
