Wow, some sweet rides in this thread! Look forward to sifting through some more pics...

Thanks for letting us know Will.

The only problem I can see is that the seatpost is only about 5cm into the seat tube... unless he has a rare "long Nitto Jaguar post".

I'd also say that this frame is too small for this rider, if this is the actual height of the saddle.

Speculation fam.

If you have long legs compared to your torso you would be having the saddle even higher.

Yes. But the "long Nitto Jaguar" is as rare as rocking horse shit and a new one too?! Not possible.

Nice build though.

it's still too small - fist full of seat post rule will always stand. (ace paint job though)

Thanks for letting us know Will.

lol

Yeah fair play on the seatpost but otherwise a hot slice of bike ass.

Would smaller cranks not be more aero and also provide less of a dead spot due to the smaller distance they have to cover?

The dead spot is a function of angle, not distance. The proportion of the circle in which you're not applying much torque is essentially the same regardless of the diameter of the said circle.

On the aero question, the cranks themselves are pretty irrelevant, but the reduced hip articulation angle from short cranks might allow body positions not viable with long cranks, which has the potential for aero gains. Of course, the real short-crank obsessives are recumbulent riders, where short cranks allow the whole nose cone of the fairing to be substantially reduced in size, giving big reductions in CdA.

One of the things I love about this place is all the educational tidbits you can pick up over time. Has changed the way I think about cycling in a way that I can only think of as positive.

Nice little Bob for a bladdy bargain!

Thanks Malaysian :)

excuse the crap pic, but I was drooling over this restored Mercier for a while.

Thankfully the shop was shut and the bike was too small as my girlfriend wouldn't have been happy getting the bus back alone with my suitcase.

I think the pricetag was something like 200 euros

Bar the ridiculous rear mech cable

ridiculous rear mech cable

Big loop is correct for SRAM. That one looks a bit too big, but they always look wrong even when they are right.

^Shame their road stuff doesn't follow their mtb stuff then. Nice neat cable guiding on them.

focken ace scumble paintjob !

That's the exact thought I had as I was writing my comment. There's no reason why you can't use a short cage 10-s MTB mech on your SRAM road bike if the cable route bother you :-)

Has squabbles hacked your account?

Be interesting to know what levers they are, the Versa 8/11 speeds one were spongy as hell even when dialed in nicely with disc brakes.

Mudguard fail as you can see the frame still get grim on it despite.

as i sold it a while ago, i think it's fine to post it here
