So bloody good!

That paint !!

It’s really starting to grow on me.

Phwoarr!

How well do those long-drop calipers work?

This really does look excellent. How does it ride on the new wheel size?

how good is this. amazing work.

650B ?

Fantastic bicycle, fan since I first saw it!

The missus just fished the same model from the bay, although probably a bit smaller (51cm seat tube, 57.5cm top tube C-C). How is yours proportioned?

It arrived on Friday - but now to "her" problem. The color is so weird - depending on light it changes from brown to green, but actually being violet. And....she hates violet (I on the contrary have got 2 violet bikes ;))...oh no.

So she decided on going for a respray (don't blame me please, I love the color). As we've a framebuilder right in town, we are thinking about some modifications at the same time. Low-rider mounts, rear rack mounts on the mono-stay. But also, as this is intended directly as 650b, possibly moving the canti studs.

Regarding the R559: did you had to file them down or even open the tabs? And: what is the maximum tire width with your current setup? Thinking also about crimping chainstays if required ...

And, last question: measured a 26.2 diameter seatpost. Correct?

Thanks for any help in advance!
