The Walvale is too big for me. I can just about stand over it. 22inch is about ok on a roadbike, but with the raised BB, it's marginal.
I can accomodate it, but it's marginal.
Plan was to sell of the Walvale and have the new frame built over winter/spring, ready for the summer. I don't have 600 squid I can put up front for that, but by selling off the Walvale it could have worked...except that the waiting time at Kalavinka has apparantly increased (I'm waiting for confirmation on this).
Alternative is a cheap hack while I wait. I got the majority of the components, but most of them are too nice to be put on a hackbike.
