how come the frame is so big ? im only 3 inches shorter than you Mr Braker and im comfortable on a much smaller frame.
My point being the frame seems excessively big to the point of being massive. is that a fair appraisal ?
It's big, but not excessive :-)
If my cyclefit data is accurate, then it should fit me perfectly!
Because of my limited fork choice and in order to achieve the desired trail, the headtube angle has to be 73deg. If it were at an angle typical for track frames, the length would be maybe 20mm less. Add to this the fact that my saddle to bar drop is only 60mm, and that equals a fuck-off frame.
Thanks for the info chaps.
