Bike porn

Does the camera angle make it look too large for the rider as well?

Stem is pretty long, guess they have small legs.

^^also this.

^^so why build a custom frame with such geo?

What I was wondering.

Hah, I'm flattered this was posted here - but it's certainly not bike porn worthy, like many others have said. Mismatched cages and the like...

My proportions are a bit wonky, and this frame was built on a road stage template that's a bit aggressive. It's a 53cm seat tube with a 52cm top tube and 110mm stem, and though the perspective makes it look funky it was built to fit my geometry and does fit me perfectly.

I would have loved to do internal cable routing, but that's an advanced technique and quite time consuming, so it wasn't offered in my class.

Wel, with some decent taped bars and two matching cages + a good angled photo, it would come at least close to porn.

Point taken. I'll work on my photography skills and upgrade some things :]

I'd be chuffed it ended up in here and to hell with the criticism.........

Tapes an easy fix though ;)

bollocks it is, even has a thread devoted to it

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm flattered! If I had known it would though I would have paid a bit more attention to detail during the photography...and would have retaped it.

I don't mind the criticism at all! Everyone's entitled to their opinion, and it helps me learn what to do better next time.

This is fantastic. Thank you.

If you built your own frame, that's pretty cool. Did you consider going for a compact geo / upward sloping top tube and a bit more post?

Thank you! And truth be told, Mr. Yamaguchi was the main driver of the geometry in my class, and I don't think we had the option to do a sloping top tube (though the frame, fork, and stem all had to work together and I had to have all of the components picked before we designed the frame.) I learned a lot about templates, geometry, body measurements, how to build for certain body types, etc., so in the future it's something I can play around with. Despite how funky it looks, it truly does fit me perfectly, and that's after a professional fitting on top of the custom geometry.

You can never have too much seat post... grow longer legs if needed.

Can't argue with that. It's more the photo squashing it than the bicycle itself I think.

Thank you! Etc.

I was just reading your blog as I'd not seen it before and my goodness your Takhion's are saweeeet! Did you ever managed to get the forks repaired?

That Pretorious is sick, but definitely needs bigger tyres.

Thank you, glad you like them! The fork is getting sent off for repair this week actually.

wooof that Cannondale is awsome!!
