Wanted: The large frames for sale thread 25" or 64cm what have you got?

Bob Jackson was too big so is back on the market...

In response to DMs, the Bob bottom bracket is standard British threaded and the brakes and normal drop for 700C wheels.

The look and forks have now gone to their new home. A delight to meet you sir.

Shame some idiot has put the decals in the wrong places.

Apologies for the delay, several people have asked questions re: The Bob Jackson and I need to go to the studio to measure/check. Unfortunately the college is being Ofsteded this week and the shit has really hit the fan.

Questions will be answered asap.

That bargain Graham Weigh 531c now parted out by someone who can't remove a set of cranks. And it seems to have shrunk by an inch, too...

I need some big bike advice. Currently I'm knocking around on a Dedacciai Pista, it's almost spot on... Geo is:

Size XXL
Horizontal Top Tube Length: 590
Seat Tube Length: 640

  Head Tube Length 205 (ext. bearings
  Head Tube Angle: 73       

Seat Tube Angle: 72.5
Chainstay Length: 410

  Front Centre:   610

Only problem is the slack seat tube, I'm on an inline post and the saddle's all the way forward on the rails. Ideally I'd be looking for something with a 74 deg ST, and I suppose shorter TT that'd go with it? I've got long legs (880mm BB to top of saddle) but I'm more shin and foot than femur, so need to be quite far forward over the BB for KOPS.

Smaller frame wouldn't really work as I need the long head tube (external headset, so add a couple of centimetres to account for headset cups). I recently tried building up a 60cm Pre Cursa but the 350mm seatpost was at min. insertion, TT was really long and the HT really short, I needed a massive stack of spacers and a short stem to get anywhere near comfy. Looked stupid and felt weird.

Do any OTP frames exist with the kind of geo I'm looking for or am I looking at a custom frame?

Condor Lavoro? Mine is 62cm CTT...

Custom?

(Mielec...)

Fairly big 531 Raleigh Rapide with campag going for cheepz oop North on fleabay.

Condor Lavoro? Mine is 62cm CTT...

Looks lovely, but the geo is pretty much the same as my Dedacciai, it's that 72.5 deg seat tube that's the problem, need something steeper! Maybe Mielec is the answer, apollo. Prefer the idea of steel though...

Gaston it?

Is that the reverse layback post? I'll admit, it's partly aesthetic issues that are driving me away from the current frame, what with the inline post and saddle as far forward as possible.

I can't see an arse-backwards seatpost improving the aesthetics much... :

Out of interest, what saddle do you run?

I've found some saddles put you much further forward, Flite for example, or SLR? Arione the opposite...

Spec Romin, definitely needs to be a bit further forward than Arione and PX superlight I was running before but also makes my arse much happier. And both of those were a little further forward of the middle of the rails on an inline post.

the roberts frame is nice, if one could buy it for £200.

^Unfortunately it sounds like the bottom bracket threads on that Roberts are knackered...

Just realised I'm poorer than I thought, anyone want to buy this...?

Really don't want to sell it, but needs must and I've got all the parts for a new 853 road build any way.

I never got round to building it up, it's been laying on my bed at my mum's house since summer.

Paid £250, would like that, plus postage.

I think it's worth more, absolute beaut. So light as well.
