  • Here's my road bike - 62cm. I upgraded the crankset to Ultegra since I took that picture

  • Superb! What/who's is it?

  • It's a Lee Cooper, and it belongs to Bobby who works with me at Tokyo

  • Must. Buy

  • It's only 5% taller then the original....

  • Just posted this in the 29er thread as well. Very similar to what I'm hoping to build.

  • I had to take a break on my commute to snap a pic of the new steed. Being 6'5" tall and 220 pounds when it came time to choose a custom builder Zinn was the obvious choice.

  • ^ Watch out, Lennard Zinn will have you on 200mm custom cranks!

  • Ah, just noticed it's not yours :-s

    I've got an Ogre sat in a box (24", natch) But It'll be a long time before I build it up!

  • ^ When I spoke to Ison distribution in January, they told me that Tokyo fixed had pre-ordered the 1st & only 24" Ogre frame, coming in around the end of March. They did say that another two 24" framesets were coming in at the end of June, so I put a deposit on one soon after. I'm 6'7" & the ETT of the Ogre seemed to work out just what I was after. I do ride a Long haul trucker in 62cm & have considered the new 64cm, but it doesn't seem worth the bother.

    Don't mind waiting for the frame, as I've had a lot on since then & wouldn't have had time to ride it.

    I can only assume that you are that lucky guy at TF. By the looks of your other bikes, it would appear that the frame went to a good home! look forward to seeing the build.

    The toptube is 58cm that's kind of weird. My 63cm frame has the same tt size..

    You seem to be a clone of me. Same height, same story on the LHT. Look forward to seeing yours too!

  • nice, yours?

  • Unfortunately not.

  • 61cm Roubaix

    Check out the head tube!

  • fuck me thats ugly

  • yeah proper anti innit.

    the fact that the headtube is nearly = to the forks!

  • Which raises the question, why did you post it in Big Beautiful Bikes?
