For Sale: Reluctant sale of MKM track/TT frame + chris king + sweet wing cranks + ti stem

it's pissing it down so am trapped in the office rather than riding and thought i would measure the MKM

now remember the seattube is slanting so it goes away further back than a normal bike BUT tyre to tyre the measurement is just 225mm - i challenge anyone to beat that!

Holy crap.. I want this so bad.. What sort of 3 speed fixed rear hub is that? Link?
Really don't need this, but what is shipping costs to Copenhagen, Denmark?
Cheers

pm'ed

What angle is the seat-tube at?

durro, don't have a protractor :(

Surely with your mastery of the personal computer (I bet you are a Mac user) you could establish this from the photographs?

oo you're bloody right - it's 68 degrees :)

Cheers. Really interesting bike this.

What was the reach like when you had it built up?

actually very similar to my other bikes with 57cm tt's - i ran it with the 130mm stem - i can stick that back on with the seat post at your desired height and measure if you like?

Is 68 degrees the actual angle of the seat tube or the virtual seat angle measured from centre of bottom bracket?

i did it like this...

Thanks
Thinking about it a bit longer you wouldn't want a 68 virtual angle unless you had hugely long femors.
So are you able to figure out the virtual angle from centre of bottom bracket to seat tube / top tube intersection - something like 73 or 74?

yup! 73º

and measurements of saddle height/ seatpost to stem face

Have you got long calfs and short thighs?

It looks like we are 2 peas in a pod. I like this (the frame)

i just have massive legs like a frog

Was the reach a problem then?

I think this may fit me.

I quite fancy this. no bb?

reach was perfect am just not a fan of short wheelbase bikes

no bb am afraid - just frame and forks
