Nice frame Opie. It needs DA bits and some panels though.
yeah, like 200mm. Since I have long leg for my height, that length plus some spacers will put the bars level with the saddle. My builder said that if I ever want it shorter, he'll breakdown the bike and cut a little off.Wumpus said:

It's kind of a split between a road and touring bike. I think the chainstays are 430mm. So I can put some luggage on without heelstrike. As you might've noticed, I got rackmounts on it.
So, I'm thinking that if I ever want a more race bike, I'll just build another one with a headtube of 170-180.
Loco, ya know, even if I had the money, I'm not sure I'd spend it on DA bits.
Those are two of many, many reasons one should go with a custom frame builder. I am looking for a used frame for a friend of mind who is my exact height (5ft7) but has an inseam that is 2" longer. So far ZERO luck. Being an educator he has limited brain power and is convinced he'll find the perfect ride off the rack...LordOpie said:
At my riding level the only thing I would gain from DA or Record is pride of ownership; not enough to make me spend the bucks.LordOpie said:
Will your frame be built up by the time I get to Colorado? I'd love to see it in person.
The color is T009-BL01. 
Very Nice!!!
But why does the rear spacing look huge ?
