Ratty white contact points is go. 2nd hand cotton tape off of my Belleri's just to have a look. Will prob use fizik or something similar, or just keep layering up the cotton...

And because you asked so nicely, slamdatstem + seatpost at min insertion = 16" saddle to bar drop....

thanks! looks very pro, I love it.

I'd be eating tarmac within 3 minutes if I tried to ride it with that setup. Thinking of trying to take a Paul-Michel esque picture of me on it holding onto the curtains...

Looks great like that.

Are you watching Downton Abbey?

Do it.

Yup, Liz is away on business and I'm bored/procrastinating. It's just been put on lovefilm instant so watching it all again. It's pure win.

Do it.

Sigh.

My wrists and neck feel funny!

It feels even more bonkers than it looks. Straight bulls and a little more height on the stem and it'd match my tarck drops though...

You look like a towering giant. XD Good aero position though.

Just been polishing the Pana up for the new owner that should be collecting any minute now, forgot about the reflective Restrap headtube decal I'd made...

I'm only 5'10" that front end is ridiculously low with the flipped promenades....

5'10! How small IS that frame?!

55 square effectively. But the 24" front wheel throws things out a little!

For reference all my bikes are 56 square/100mm stem and fit lovely.

Sigh.

WIN + rep!

If you imagine it with proper tri bar setup + yoga it'd be just fine!

I'd love to ride that. but I normally ride a 62, so perhaps it may be a bit small.

I never got it built up more than that but at 6" it felt hella small when I sat on it. I wanted it for racing so with a bit of tweaking it might have been ok, but the fact I was never confident about the size is one reason I never finished it.

Awesome frame though, delighted to see it's going to get some use :-)

For the time being it makes sense for it to just get ridden, hence building Liz a comedy hack clown commuter out of it.
With some work and a wide range of tt bars and stems to play with I know I could get it to fit nicely but think it'll be more fun this way...

So glad you sold it back to me!

Still can't believe how light it is even with some parts on it now...
Hmm, reach is looking a tad short at the moment with an 80mm stem, got a 110mm I can shim out but will be on the lookout for something more suitable before it gets finished. Underestimated the amount of backsweep on the promenades!
Anyone want to swap a basic but cosmetically ok(maybe need a polish) 80mm/25.4 for a 110mmish/25.4?

Is it in one line with the chainset?

to be honest I thought I knew and asked just to make point about fixed, but this has me confused now.
