the blue IRO frameset is amazing - where can you get this in london, and is it possible to get one from a shop that is part of cycle to work?
i'm having horrible problems finding a decent singlespeed bike that fits, my standover height is 720mm and at the moment the only options i'm coming up (after a lot of research) are custom builds, but short of spending £800 at BLB i'm not sure what to do? off the pegs are a no go as the 49cm frames are still too big....have spoken to tokyo fixed gear who won't do bikes with 650cc wheels.....
do i need to tie weights to my legs to stretch myself out? or opt for an ugly 24 speed lady's bike (the only off the peg bikes that seem to fit).
any help would be much appreciated!
