hey @Jingle_Jangle just came across this thread again & wondered what happened with this frame, did you build it up in the end?

Yes, it's built up as a winter commuter.

Pretty utilitarian build but very practical and nice to ride.

I am away at the moment but will dig it out of the shed when I get back and post up a pic.

As promised, ready for winter duties.

It’s a workhorse, not a show pony.

ah I like a good workhorse though, looks like it rides great. slight shame you couldn't get the top of the rack level though, perennial problem with large frames...

A Tubus rack would work.

Humanahumana!
I knew you had good taste!!
That's bloody lovely, see you Sunday :-)

*But please align the rear rack, my OCD is screaming;-)

Probably why @Jingle_Jangle cautioned it was a work horse (comparatively). I've that same Nitto rack, and it's not an easy one with steep seat stays (and fast stays); better suited to slacker geo / smaller frames, which is annoying as it's otherwise a pretty thing.

That bike is lovely regardless!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
