Ultimately I always find steel a bit flexy and by all accounts Tange prestige is a very compliant steel.
With the extra bottle mounts under the down tube this would be a great long distance road frame

Or great for a lighter rider
I’m 120kg, 6’3 with big, big legs

Wouldn’t really mind. It’d solely be a pleasure ride with no metric chasing in mind.
I’m way too short for this I’m afraid. Making myself fit it would mean ruining it. -

What is the point of posting your irrelevant negative crap on a sales thread ?I didn't realise it was the sellers comment - Doh !
It's a funky bike frame - GLWTS.

What are you talking about?
It’s my own sales thread and I’m commenting on the characteristics of the steel that the bicycle is made out of - how is that not relevant?

Sorry, I didn't see that it was your sales thread, I thought someone else had made the comment :-(

Ahhh, all good then. Yeah I’d be pissed if someone had done that too.
I am truely my own worst enemy - thanks for having my back!

In the Gren's mini defence I also read that as a negative comment from someone other than the seller. Usually people selling lovely steel frames live in a fantasy world of stiffness and ride quality instead of being realistic that it's a comfy ride because thin tubes of steel are just kinda flexy

Such a bargain. Paint alone is worth the asking price!

many wants, no monies.
no fork I assume?

Flexy or not it looks f@cking awesome and someone should buy it and start posing outside cafes with it immediately

If you are 6'3 and 120kg then you will find flex in a lot of frames that other people don't. I am 90kg and have had steel frames that were flexy under peddling and some that were not.

I'm 75kg and I can make a Mercian in standard dia. tubing flex to the point of feeling too soft. My Argos Racing frame in the same material (725) has a 31.8 DT and has that steel 'buzz' without feeling too soft. All depends on rider weight, tube diameters, size of the front triangle (e.g. compact or not) and (to a point) butt length. Steel frame 'flex' has next to nothing to do with chainstays (why do people think this? I couldn't design a stiffer structure than a bike's rear triangle if I tried - it's a small, steel 4 sided pyramid) and more to do with the DT and TT being able to twist to allow the BB shell to kick to the side.
I'm just typing this nonsense because it costs a lot of money in frames to figure this out.

Indeed
Not all steel is equal
The bigger the bike the more squirrely they get
I’ve had a couple of stiff frames though. One was made of Columbus max and the other 853 “millennium” tubing.

You, outside Kastello?
I'd buy this if I was lighter but alas I'm 120kg and also 6'3 so this will noodle under me.

We should be in a tag team!
Looking to move this on again sadly.
It’s sat unbuilt and I really can’t justify a 4th road bike.
Have the matching quill 140mm (😱) stem
57x58cm frame
