173cm. My posture & body shape prefers a short frame, it seems. Scherrit said I could go 5mm shorter, in a perfect world. Unfortunately, very few manufacturers make frames that short. I'm on the verge of warranting a custom frame, although I'll have to wait a few years for Parlee to do their aero frame short and tall enough...

The Cervelo S2/3 is your best bet then;

Reach: 360mm
Stack: 505mm

Cannondale;
Reach: 368mm
Stack: 513mm

However if you really want a perfect fit, there's plenty of women frame that'll fit you, such as the Scott Contessa (48cm);

Reach: 361mm
Stack: 537mm

This one's fine, thanks though Ed.

Still no paints?

Actually, I've just had a look at the Cervelo geometry and in this instance, the stack and reach measurements are misleading. A 48mm S3 would actually be a significantly worse fit than my current Cannondale.

The effective top tube is longer by 6mm, the head tube is 2mm shorter and the seat-tube is significantly more slack - these features conspire to stretch me much further away, especially when you consider that I have to put a significant amount of seatpost out.

I read your thread on Stack and Reach with some interest yesterday, as I thought it would be interesting to compare the fit of my bikes. Unfortunately, I've come to the conclusion that they're not particularly useful metrics when comparing bikes, as they strip out far too many variables to be useful when you've got a fit already.

Nah - my paint thoughts have kind of faltered for the moment. I've not been riding much because I was looking after friends over the bank holiday and I've got a shocking cold at the moment and I'm pulling 13 hour shifts at work. I'm also absolutely skint until the end of the month, which is looking like a long way away.

I did email James1234 a while ago about paint ideas, but he never got back to me.

Once you declutter / desticker the components you'll see that the frame and the bike as a whole is fine.

You can keep telling me the bike looks fine, but it doesn't.

It's a garish mix of primary red, white and black that's been chucked on with absolutely no consideration for the design of the frame or the combination of colours. It looks like they chucked on whatever decal cut-offs they found on the floor and varnished the fucker. I'm actually surprised that it doesn't have a tribal swirl on it somewhere.

I'm going to wrap the fucker in snow camo gaffer tape until I afford something better

How much does it weigh

Might just cover it in this

YES edsquad

The forest camo could look great. Do you remember that mash with a similar finish?

Pooface's 853 road bike were wrapped with the vinyl I posted above, add a bit of fluro yellow and it look fantastic.

This 'dale is already so small it could be lost down the back of the sofa.

Cammo'ed up you'll stop to change a tube and lose it into the hedge.

Found it;

Also found a lots more choice;

i've seen that bike and it look(s) awesome

Skulls did something similar with his genesis

The further benefit to doing it in tape is that it doesn't fuck up the resale value or warranty of the frame.

This might be a goer - I think that Mash looks more like vinyl wrap and respray rather than just wrapped in tape.

I might go for Snow Camo and Black decals?

Except for the time it take to clean the frame of the sticky resin left from the vinyl.

10 minutes with a bit of ethanol isn't the end of the world

Where on earth do you find these tapes?
May mark up the track bike. Not camo though....

Hunting shop where people need to cover up stuff to get closer to duck.

I posted the link just above the image of a duct tape.

They sell that shit in most DIY stores nowadays. Paperchase probably, too.
