Ed - have you actually ridden the 50cm or looked at the geo charts for one?

If you had you would realise that the bike is suitable for:

anyone who normally rides a 57cm+ frame
anyone who doesn't want toe overlap if they have feet bigger than size 9
anyone who wants the Brooklyn for more than short rides/tricks

blah blah blah

I wasn't taking the piss out of you mate, I was just genuine.

and frankly I did not remember feeling any toe overlap on the Brooklyn, I don't know why when I was told otherwise especially by the owner of the bike I borrow it from.

I know. But you were also genuinely wrong. i'm 6'1" and the frame is the correct size for what I want it for.

steady on buttercup, I has no idea how tall you were.

Oh, Ed... You're just playing to the gallery now... ;]

BTW Brilliant...

I thought you said 6'4"... Never mind. Who cares. i think it fits and that's all that matters.

On a side note, it would have been nice for Brooklyn to have a little bit more of a helping hand when it comes to gauging which one of their (small) range of sizes is suitable.

Was it the cyclocross one? or the tawian (I think) build version of the Gangsta?

Too many cotton picking minutes for the scoble...

ha

It arrived! thanks to everyone for buying my stuff; next stop Bike Whisperer.

Nice frame! Cute kitteh too.

needs a set of carbon risers :)

nice

You need a basket on that Planet X to carry the kitten.

All these nice new frames is making me want my new bike more and more. Currently I have bars and stem in my rather pitiful new build bag of bits. Need to sell my damn Condor before more purchasing can commence.

Nice one doubletap...

Regarding the discussion of Brooklyns... I would get one if they did it in 56ish cm.... I'm 6'5" and for a normal track frame need about a 64cm... Sound about right, Gangsta geeks?

Hot frame S-man

Sick frame, ADT... Gonna look badass with risers on it... Very, very cute kitteh...

Kitteh is from UCI checking the 3:1 tube rule compliance. Didn't show her the bar setup just to be safe.

Nice one Steve, looking forward to seeing that in RP :)

Finally finished my Basso conversion.

Mainly transferring bits over from this years bike so Sugino 75/Zen/DA SPD-R , Deda pista bars, red San Marco Regal Ti, Thomson stem (once bikefitted), Cane Creek Volos tub wheels and DA 7600 /CXP33 clinchers.

Basically a tart.

I like this a lot :) But I'd personally bin the white chain and tyre, and whack some white/black fiz'ik tape on those drops
