I recently bought this frame and forks on a rather foolish impulse, and to be honest it is far too nice for me to use as a general run about! So hopefully it can find the home it deserves..... The frame is a 52cm (c-t-c seat tube) Rick Powell tt frame with 126mm OLN rear spacing. I think it is Colombus SL I, pretty damn light! Seat post size is 27.2mm. The rear stays are chromed, as are the forks. All in all it is in good condition, no dents/scratches and only a few marks where the bb and seat post has been installed, and these won't be seen anyway. The front forks take a 24'' wheel, which is included (24'' Mavic Mach2 CD2 on Mavic hub w/ Vittoria Juniores tyre). There is a pretty shitty head set in it (Tange Falcon), but this runs pretty smoothly. Like i said i'm just not gonna use this, and just want i to go to a good home. I'm asking £150 for it, which will (obviously) include a donation to the forum.

Lolz!
Yeah a longer wheelbase should make it stabler at higher speeds, but I'm not sure just how much the wheel base effects the handling itself.
Erm, how to explain it... a bit like how maybe a mini would be affected be a small bump in the road, while a coach would not be... I think?
Anybody else got any insight, please?!
Do you mean the steering handling? because I would have thought the wheelbase would be quite critical, I mean the longer a bike is, the harder/less responsive it'll be? Or that's what I'd have thought anyway...
