Arkose was genuinely a perfect allrounder, had all the fittings and clearance you'd ever need, the M was always on the verge of being just too small though...the compact geo / massive seatpost always hurt my eyes :/
But with this Faran (56T), now I've swung a leg over it it's actually probably sized up too tall for me now, at the front end at least, so realistically I'll probably now be moving it on sooner before I'm the initiator of the first chip in that glorious paintwork (it is unbelievably good)! Will prob go for something 'cheaper' too actually, I genuinely feel nervous moving this around in the shed it's that nice. I'll almost certainly be heading @amey's direction and getting a Checkpoint ALR...just like the Arkose but a horizontal/ish TT that will be easier on my eyes, and I won't be too squeamish if it gets scratched!
Arkose replacement finally built up last week...
