There is nothing wrong with pineapple on pizza. I will fight you

Nothing wrong with Condor either

Dear god.

very cool, what's the outer cabling ?

Decathlon special, they sell the brake and gear kits pretty decent quality for price.

If we were to have steepened the seat tube angle to the 74 degrees of a medium Endpoint Coffee Grinder, the effective top tube would have measured out to 54cm rather than 55cm even though the bike isn’t actually getting any shorter.

So?
What's all the waffle about ST angle for? Bizarre

Ah, cheers

Bah... I'm not a fan of BMX companies non BMX frames...

The 26" balloon monster will ride nice

literally costs one million pounds on top to import in the UK

one million pounds

Seems a bit steep

Brexit innit

full disclosure - Chris and I rode bmx together as kids. It was more a reference to that than a serious suggestion

74 degrees

too steep, that would shorten the top tube etc etc

I want that bike but who's gonna bring it for me from US of A?

@JB

74 degrees

@edscoble

Dream on. Can ship a frame but I certainly wouldn't bring one back. It's mega cheap to fly to to the US now anyway. Would be cheaper to pick it up...!

Would be cheaper to pick it up...!

This is what I was going to do before Firefly told me their queue was 18+ months long.

Cough EC1 yuppie cough...

Nice frame. If you fancy classic downtube shifter look, the Dura Ace 10sp indexed downtube shifters work really well (but are quite expensive!)

A mini handles better. It was such a boring bike to ride.

Some of the later versions (might be just true of barcon/TT shifters) don't have a friction option. Just something to be aware of. Its no major drama but when I was looking for some I made sure to get ones with the friction option.
