[strike]I think you got the measurements wrong. The c-c seat tube length on a Low Pursuit is actually 54cm. This is why you didn't get the bro-pro look you were aiming for.[/strike]

Just read back to your last post with your measurements. Maybe they did 54cm c-t on the seat tube?

looks like they indeed mixed the angles

still a nice frame though

I would've asked for the seat stays to be placed lower too, but that's a personal preference I suppose.

Still looks good though.

Yes, it looks okay but I ordered a pursuit and really loved the sloping top tube.

Can you maybe add a little to the comments? I will write him that the seat tube angle is not as specified (to low). I just need good arguments I think.

he can't really argue with a wrong angle. and wrong measurements as well.

Just measure all the bits you can and see if you can find anything different from what you asked for.

I've got a geeling the seat tube is too short or the top tube is too long. Seat tube c-c should be 54cm and top tube (effective c-c) should be 53cm. Also are you sure that headtube is 12cm?

Sounds like Robert needs to employ a graduate-level CAD monkey to confirm geos with both customer and builder before work starts.

put 650c wheel and fork on it

(dont)

Looks good, the toptube is sloped, but i would use a normal road handlebar.

Seat tube definitely looks slacker than headtube.

It does have a downward sloping tube though? Isn't it just not as prominent because it's a small size?

Some smaller lows don't have a huge drop

Id say it hasnt;

The angels are also obviously not the same. Why dont u just contact Robert about it, Im sure hes a decent chap and u'll work something out (either u send it back and he remakes it/new one - or he should offer a discount) ?

I'm in contact with him now. He just said there couldn't be a mistake so I had to get some arguments :-)! But I have seen 53 Low Pursuits and they have plenty of slope.

He said that to Rincewind too, his was very wrong.

They calculate with 368mm fork height, just sayin

ill post this 54 size pursuit here to get a comparison. Seat tube on yours looks way shorter.

He said that to Rincewind too, his was very wrong.

was Rincewind's part of the bulk order, or he ordered independantly?

Independent and custom polo geo, so more likely to go wrong, but it was quite wrong. Still rides quite nicely but not what he asked for.

Hey any pics of the "new" dropouts? Really wanna see them before placing an order.

oh god thats even worse

disclaimer: those aren't the new trackends

you got me there

WOW! Almost died!
