Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

I have requested a return/refund.

The right call I think.

If it makes you feel any better this type of thing doesn’t only happen with small business’..... I had a similar situation when a customer sent me a brand new ‘ready to paint’ frame from a niche high end Italian brand. Bare in mind the customer had paid £4500 for this frame...

I know it's the least of the worries there, but a Philips screw instead of an Allen head bolt on a £4.5k frame!?

I'd be terrified to ride that, and livid. Wonky ass seatstay? Tyre rub on the bb shell? Badly ground down internal cable guide? Shite finish? More holes than a colander?

niche high end Italian brand

Dov didnt sign the NDA?!

Legend.
It got sent back, I washed my hands of the project. Dont know what the outcome was.

I havent painted a bike for D in years!

Right, what mudguard should I get for the 295, the existing one is buggered.

I do quite like the aesthetic of the smaller ones I admit.

I'll make you one for £700

Can even engrave your name and a picture of your cat on it

What wood would you like?

RRP Enduro guard with zip ties.

A bit of spam. Another year another clearout.

I was interested then I realised you said it was too small for you at 6ft3! What have you changed to instead?

I had it set up with a 90mm stem. This in my opinion makes it too small. I think I have disproportionally long limbs. It has 520mm seatube and I could easily run a 250mm dropper on it (if such a thing existed).
I'm not replacing it as such, more downsizing to two bikes. But I do have this in the post:

I do have this in the post:

XL?

Yes. I'm looking forward to riding with a 50mm stem.

So with a 130mm sagged fork, plus your proposed 50mm stem and 60mm(?) bars, you'll end up with something like this

Guessing your saddle height

Edit ( TT not quite right, as I don't know which fork or sag they're using )

Dibs

You got the seat tube angle wrong. The sagged TT will be just 12mm longer than on the Sir9 I have in classifieds.

You mean 2nd dibs?

Ah yes, misread that 78 as 76 :-)

Hope your knees get on with that seat angle

2nd dibs?

@platypus ?

I'm not planning on riding this around Richmond Park

Too technical?

Too much climbing
