I don't know anything about an Arkose but I've flogged Kinesis for a few years now so if you have specific questions about them ask away. Have you checked their geos to make sure both frames will fit in whatever size you need?

So, the sizing has been a bit of a struggle because I want to match position to my road bike and it's obviously much racier. I think by dropping a frame size down to a 54 and slamming a 17 degree, 120mm stem I can get quite close. Did you need to do anything drastic to fit yours?

Only a couple of questions so far - I've read that the finishing on the frames can be a bit rough. Did you have a shop race and face everything before you built it up?

I've also read that the internal cables can rattle about a bit. Has this been an issue?

Lastly, is there anything you dislike/would change about the frame?

Thanks, TTM

If you’re gonna try and match the fit to your race bike, you may end up not liking it.

Can you expand on this? Sorry, but this is all a bit new to me. I assumed it would be best to replicate the contact points, especially as I am prone to niggles when I change anything on my normal setup even by a few mm’s.
