I'm happy with the drop; it's still 9cm or so, the bars aren't so high as to be uncomfortable. Did a mock-up with a -17 and it looked odd. My other frame is where the ridiculous drop is at - 57cm top tube, 14.5cm head tube.

Fit > Form

I thought you were selling it because you weren't happy with the drop?

Don't sell it, it's an awesome bike.

I'm happy with the drop as a nice Sunday/Century whip, but not as my only road bike, and I can't afford to keep two built up to a good standard. I keep umm-ing and ahh-ing, but I think it'll still be sold. That and if I wreck the frame I can't afford to replace it, which doesn't sit well with me.

This, of course. Getting a bit lower will make 10x the difference the wheels make, but yeah you have to be comfortable/happy.

apparently lighter.

Lighter than this?

Insure it!

(Really need to get bike insurance...)

From what I remember they claim around 40g (or 40%, works out pretty similar) lighter than a standard headset assembly. So, maybe? Not about to rip it out and weigh it.

what is 9cm in Scoblebricks?

About 1.5 I think

60cm. Getting an idea for how the bike looks built up, in the same size as my CAAD10 frame set. Pretty alright with the stem slammed, I reckon.

' Already sanded loosing 3g'

Haha, he is indeed quite obsessive!

That's lucky because it doesn't appear to have any other options.

I suppose you could put it in the lathe and turn .5mm off outside of the steerer between the bottom bearing seat and wherever the star fangled nut thing is for a few more grams. I would not have thought Crack'n'fail ran their safety margins so tight as to cause a failure with a bit of extra waisting - of course it might be safer and save a lot more weight and cash if he cut the tops off his socks, shaved his arse and took a dump

A 58cm?

Can you get acetone from boots etc? Ive not used it before.

Yep, or any supermarket with a pharmacy, or any regular street corner chemist. About £1 or so a bottle.

Ask for it at the counter though, might not be on the shelves.

any regular street corner chemist.

should grind off the cable stops on that Cannondale for true WW rep

Removing the battery should drop the weight down quite a lots.

Magic gear fixed conversion would help

Haha class :)
