  • Mission complete.
    Thank ya

  • What is Neil, 55?

  • thats what it said but it feels a tad bigger.

  • What does it measure? I may know someone who would give it a good home....

  • ill check.
    i wouldnt sell until i new i had a good new frame to replace

  • Hang on, Dakin, in my age-befuddled memory you're taller than me and all my bikes are 56, I'd measure Neil very carefully if I were you......

  • Colin. I never should of sold the Fort.
    It fit so well.
    54 TT c-c
    54 ST c-t

  • Nope, you shouldn't, especially with the (mis)treatment the bloke you sold it to gave it! I shouldn't have sold it to you either, so there's a Mercian lo-pro happening in CP. Have you had a non-Internet bike fit? If you haven't, I'd do that before splashing out any more cash!

    Is that Neil or the Fort?

  • Not the Fort!

  • thats what the fort original ad said?

  • Dakin, how tall are you?

  • Oh also have you tried to ask Dmayn if he is selling the fort? (Join the fort gang bruv!)

  • 5'9-'10 ish.

    Yeah i sold it to him init.
    he aint and hes painted it and all sorts so not sure i really want it back

  • 5'9-'10 ish.

    Yeah i sold it to him init.

    Ah, I can't help there. I'm touching 6 ft and I ride 56/57. Yeah I saw what he did with the fort .. not a big fan. It's like seeing your ex-girlfriend with another man but she looks like she hasn't been taking care of herself. Such a shame.

  • he aint and hes painted it and all sorts so not sure i really want it back

    ...

    i like when bike's getting a bit gnarly..
    Spray paint and stickers add character

    (:

  • Lol, rep'd.

  • he didnt even ghetto job it doe

  • he didnt even ghetto job it doe

    HTFU dakin, life gives you lemons, etc.

  • I would have thought 54 square would be fine for someone your height, unless perhaps you're all torso or legs. I would say I'm around the same height as yourself and my 54 pre cursa is much too small. With any luck at all I'll be in receipt of a 58 Gazzetta soon-ish so I'll see how that goes. It will probably be slightly too big for me going by the book but I'm confident I'll be able to make it work comfortably.

    I think there's a culture of splitting hairs when it comes to frame sizing, a hypochondria of sorts that frame dimensions have to be spot on to the millimeter. A whole lot of faffing about with perfectionism and not enough making adjustments and getting on with things(not saying that that is the case here, just a thought). Unless you're getting something custom, which is a different story. Perhaps I'm just younger and slightly more malleable and will go on to eat my words.

  • 54 is.
    55/6 aint as much

    im still trying to tweak it in the mean time but yeah..

  • Ah I've just realised the fruit salad Neil is yours. That paint job is the tits, try make it work!

  • haha yah.
    im trying im trying.
    i think the issue is i have a long torso and then oddly long femurs.

  • Contemplating selling my Viner... would be after £300 though, inc new unused decals

  • **Sorted.

    CLOSED**
