hahaha i was waiting for that... but it pedals amazing with a chain a very small amount of pedal bob. Very pleased. Alot better than my old yakuza. Should get some action shots today. Going out with a photographer friend of mine and a few buddies. I'll post some up.

Cool. I saw that frame hanging up in the shop (in 2 pieces) just after it was painted. The colour looks great. Nice build!

im 1.84(6.02) cm should i go for a large frame?

 

[SthFRider]

I love the large. I almost got a medium, but Matt at drop n zone said id be better off with the large. Im 6'3". You could go either way i think. Your right on the borderline between large and medium. I think transitions medium sizing goes up to 6'. I would get a large if i was you

Sam also same size as you and he go for the medium. If you like to ride a little bit small bike, I think medium will suit you more.
