Road fixed / fixed road

Built this up quickly to see how fast and uncomfortable it is, it scores high in both areas.
Repping @roadwarrior (i think ) for the tcr road legal forks.
Now dismantled because no space to keep it but that felt nice for a few days.

Here's mine with some newly fitted mudguards for autumn

Did I see this giant Bob Jackson in Teddington on Thursday ?

You classy giant.

There must be another huge Bob Jackson out and about because mine is in Brussels at the moment

Hehe - track geometry + long legs = a massive frame

Thinking about getting my Dolan precursa into a rideable state. I think it was suggested on here that longer reach bars are better/ more comfortable than short reach for a road fixed build, but not sure the reason why?

Hypothesising a bit but you’d generally be riding in the drops on the track so frames might be made with less reach to compensate? When going to a road set up and (presumably) using hoods, they reach will be less so use bars with more reach to compensate back?

I do think Pre Cursas are quite short. At work I’ll generally give people a size up from what they think they should be on and they find it comfy.

That was also his IP and TP bike though, when he rode a normal bunch race bike he had a fairly large frame, though still a few spacers and lunatic length of stem! He’s a tall and very flexible guy

Few laps in 48x16

Photo is a uksi bike which were all made in one size from a few inches behind the headtube back and just got a different size ‘neck’ right?

Good enough, it’s only to ride to work on.
