  • Here I will endeavour but likely not document either of these objectives.
    But both could be a possibility.

  • So did you go for orange or green? Or were both a possibility?

  • Faran with a power meter... :-/

    This is my type of utility

  • Are there any 4 bolt 110bcd sub compact rings other than absolute black?

  • Praxis do a 48/32 set I think but it’s got some wierd cut out on the bolt flange.

    I think it’s almost impossible to do round 110bcd rings with <34 teeth.

    Power meter on a Faran is a strong statement, is this going to be a drippy build?

  • I think it’s almost impossible to do round 110bcd rings with <34 teeth.

    TA do a 33 tooth one but any smaller than that and the bolt holes are too close to the teeth. (And I just noticed it's shimano-specific 4-bolt 110. Sorry)

  • Could only find 5 bolt. TA do one but didn't look great. AB it is.

    Do I see you have a 54T? Interest in your saddle height and saddle to bar numbers. I am between sizes compared to my existing frame.

  • Yes 54t. I’ll measure it tomorrow if you like, I have been running with a 10mm spacer and -6 stem, I’m 5’10. Are you ok London? You’re welcome to a go when I’m back in a couple weeks.

  • Thanks will pm you.

  • Frame has arrived.

  • Nice!

  • In 700s it's looking fast, and my full frame bag fits from the old frame.
    Now to clean up and fit the bits from the old bike.

  • That must be the fastest (looking) Farran in existence.

  • What are those wheels, 60mm? I’ve wondered what a Faran would look like with something like those. That green is so good too and the copper logos 👌

  • Just catching up here but surely a triple has to be on the cards rather than a sub-optimal compact set up?
