glad you like the pyner rocker, it's a beaut...
if you want a project and have time to spare, buy a nice road frame for 100 and spend 150 on track drops and the colour of your choice..
if it were me however the nelson looks awesome

what am i looking for?
i already hav a 57cm tt road bike -
• #47

-
• #48
If I was 5 ft 10, Id be looking at 55cm frames, but I guess you have time to grow into it so a 56/57 might not be that bad. get properly measured up or use this http://www.competitivecyclist.com/za/CCY?PAGE=FIT_CALCULATOR_INTRO

At that price, I'd go for a Nelson. £225 inc fork, means yiou have £25 to put towards a respray if RW&B ain't your thing......
I'm going to be in the market for a new frame soon, and have about the same amount to spend (£250).
I've always quite liked the look of these. I've seen a few around london, who's got one/ridden one, and what are they like?
I already have a langster, so I'm not sure if I really want another alu bike.

thanks for the fit alexi, i think il bid up to about £150 on that frame (£170 in total) seems resonable dont you think?
im looking at a 55cm (5'10" and 33" inside leg with a little bit of room to grow) and im in the west midlands (hereford)
