The IF after a Retul fit.. The difference is unbelievable and the fitter Garth (Southampton, highest level fitter in the UK) is a legend. May well be up for sale in the next few months as I have just placed a deposit on something tasty, custom and which will take into account all the Retul data...

Few more pics on my flickr too..

Lil' bro...

Also I'm waiting for titanium cages. And that holy f*** Star fork :)

Wheels are Farsports 23/25mm with ED hubs. Clincher

@Kita that's nice! I agree on the star forks, there are no better forks for the c40 ;)

And I'm happy someone got inspired by my build!

Breso, its truth. Your bike really inspired me.

Star is the best one but also I start consider Wound Up all black version. I rode before with Wound up and I fall in love. But its heavy and different style
can't decide. Waiting nobody know how long for Star or buy new Wounds.

is there a 'before' fit photo of the bike?

In case this is still relevant, I received my fork from bike-discount today. I put some rough measurements into a cad program, and I'd say A-C (parallel to steerer axis) is more likely 395mm than 400mm.

Hey, unfortunately nothing that shows the setup well. Basically he put on a 6deg stem (original 0), layback seatpost pushing the seat back by 2cm, up by 2.5cm and minor cleat adjustment. Bar and brake position adjustment too. Rides like a new bike, much less pressure on the arms and hands and almost eliminated slipping forward. Reduced knee wobble by 80% and hip by 75%.. Well worth it! Hopefully this will translate nicely into the new creation.

so you deffo need a bigger frame then! x

not sure if this is the place to ask, but does anyone know where I can find a fender bracket such as the one PDW uses for their fenders?

Go over to 'Mudguards' and check the discussion there.
That bracket style is generally noisome and noisy, anything L shaped and metal will do a better job. Just drill a hole at the appropriate location and install.

I was thinking, Star forks are not so hard to find, but considering the steerer length you need it'll be pretty hard! If I spot something I'll let you know ;)

VERY similar to my fit with Scheritt .. I guess when you get internetbikefit™ you try and get as close to handlebar as possible OR do adjustments towards handlebar rather than saddle which either puts too much weight on your hands or in freak position ..

I've only had fit done with Scheritt and to be honest his approach seemed a bit radical at the time which is getting the position on saddle right; he didint care much about stem length or bar position (the overall cockpit area). Which is absolutely bang on I think because since then I went from 90mm -6 deg stem to 120mm -17 deg without affecting my fit or comfort zone on the bike due to changes in fitness and flexibility.

Getting fit is fun and riding bike after fit and realizing how comfortable it has got with few mm of adjustment is a revelation; I am hoping something tasty and custom from your outcome !
