Don’t worry I’ve already wondered if this is a valid excuse to just get a new frame, ideally a chisel with a nice paint job to replace my scratched boring looking scale.
Test run today was fine though, bars a spacer lower and seat is already forward a bit, it’s not that steep. What I did find was doing repeated short efforts uphill is quite hard, you can’t really go that easy or you won’t get up, and then the downhill is max 90 secs so it’s ends up being 4’30 threshold effort, 90sec recovery repeat. Did 13 reps today, 40 will be fun
Well, I did the fork swap on the chisel and it wanders a bit more as well. It rides okay but it's designed for 100mm travel. Why not gets frame that is built for the larger fork with a steeper seat tube angle?
