Apparently you know how tall I am? I know how to size a frame, I have cross checked all the measurements with my road bike and this size will suit me fine - gives me 1" extra standover while being the same length, the angles are also very similar.
Thanks for opinion on brakes, I've done a custom build for a friend using HY/RD - fantastic, but you still get the friction from the cable and I want this bike to be as internal/durable as possible. I have 6 other bikes so won't be swapping these across anytime, I reckon hylex are ideal for sscx, and I have had the opportunity to test - but I appreciate your comment!
