  • i would go with the 53cm. i never did something in bikecad so it would take me some time to figure it out but on ther other side i am not going to order before December.

  • looking at that pelizolli one again though it misses important things like headtube angle, fork rake, fork length and actual top tube, if i was you i'd put the numbers from the actual cannondale one in neddo's post into bike cad so robert can get a visual and numerical idea of what you want.

    i explained it in my pelizzoli current project thread as they are using the so called "italian" way of working, so the length of the headtube and the angle will be defined after the rest is already built and they looking for the clearances and the wheelbase first.

    copying half info is the reason why so many cheap copies looking wrong or not really fitting their owners.

  • I'm not the best at maths, but Pythagorean theorem only works with right angle triangles and triangle you're making there probably isn't a perfect right angle to that's where your measurement is out.

    I could be spouting absolute shit though.

    The chainstay is my hypotenuse, BB drop is vertical, rightangles to the line between the BB centre and the rear axle centre.

  • would totally pay for a good cannondale track copy. would need different tubing and dropouts than mielecs usual though.

  • The dropouts are the main reason I'd never get a Mielec

  • The dropouts are the main reason I'd never get a Mielec

    They used CNCd plates on my frame, pretty sure they could made certain dropouts for a price.

    Probably wouldnt cost too much more than the usual if other people wanted a copy.

  • how long does it take for them to respond to emails?

  • i wouldnt care about the dropouts or if its a perfect 1:1 copy i need a decent everyday/beater bike with a classic look so why not a dale looking copy for small money

  • really at these prices id like to pick up 2. And you cant really fault dale copys. Everyone i have talked to that has had one says most are pretty worn out feeling at this point.

  • how long does it take for them to respond to emails?

    within a day when i was speaking with them.

    if youre after a cannondale track copy let us know you're findings. send them a picture and ask how well they could copy dropouts and if they can get 27.2 seat tube yet.

  • im not looking for a super correct dale copy round tube sloping right color and 1" fork is mostly what im after. Really what id like is a semi Dale copy and a low copy.

  • The dropouts are the main reason I'd never get an original cannondale

    ftfy

  • I asked him for a 1" headtube a year ago when I ordered mine, and he said that it wasn´t possible. Might have changed now, though..

  • wrote him on saturday also asking about a 1" headtube but no response yet

  • He sent me this picture of a cannondale style build, just waiting for confirmation of 1" head tube for this frame and weather they can do metallic blue like the originals.

  • i would go with polished version to. man i really hope he can do a 1" headtube.
    Have you asked him about the price?

    this has nothing to do with a cdale track especially as the top tube has too much modern lo pro sloping. that's probably more like a mash copy.

  • That looks about as much like a cannondale as those bits of metal look like stays.

  • i had that idea long time ago and he told me, it's posiible to make 1" headtube, don't know how it works now...

  • ^^^^^ Cannondale my ass

  • I asked a year ago when ordering mine. Robert said they make 1 1/8" with a 1" insert of some kind. So you still end up with a larger diameter headtube. And a shit look.

    But maybe the provide a 1" now, don't know.

  • I'm sure they could sort something out for it, just pay the extra. I mean they order in integrated head tubes in, why not some different tubing?

  • so i went through a french mielec thread and found this

    so seems he`s able to do 1"
    Even if its the "1 1/8" with a 1" insert " think it looks ok

  • That is what I am trying to achieve. Not a photocopy of a cannondale.

  • Hello all, I was considering to buy a mielec from another member in the forum but somebody has nicked his bike so now i am looking to possibly order one, I've never had a custom frame before so i was just wondering if you guys know how or where i could get myself measured up etc?
    Im 5ft8 and i will be using the bike on the roads so any suggestion on geometry etc would be much appreciated.
    cheers.
