  Just received mine yesterday! It took him 8 weeks to ship from the day I paid. Not a day more. Frame looks good with new dropouts

• Crank Length?

  in Bikes & Bits • 10 years, 10 months

  

  I'm 5 11" with a 34" inseam. Use bike only on street with some hills not very steep. I ride 170s geared. Online calculators give 170-172.5mm. What length do you suggest for 48x17? Should I go for 165 or 167.5?

  Thinking for all-silver front wheel, as the frame will be raw aluminum with a carbon fork. How about open pros on miche llow-flange? Is this better than R501? Not a fan of Shimanos really.

  Need to build wheels for my fg. I wanted both wheels black but I know that the front will look bad because of the front brake. So I will go for a black formation face (32h - cross 3) laced on a black gran compe. This will be heavy, so I need a silver, low profile, light and cheap front wheel maybe with 20 spokes - radial. Any suggestions? Does the gran compe hub give a 42mm chainline so I can combine with omiums?

  I haven't ridden any pursuit frame ever and I can't find one to ride! I asked Robert from Mielec and he suggested a 53 (Low copy geo). Also from Low they suggest the same size. I always thought a 55 would be better for me (181cm or 5'11" with 86 inseam).I guess I am wrong. What should I choose?

  Hi! I'm 181cm with 86cm inseam. Should I order L for the Mash frame and 53 for the Low frame?Anyone can help with this?
  Also, why so few Low frames here?
