Matt Vandart Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'm actually getting more tempted by a streetyish 26. I think I'd be after a 04 contro/pure/zebdi mix but bade for a 6'4" person. I was thinking something like 1075/383/+20/73 (awaits slating for calling this streety) but having ridden a zebdi (well 2) for about 3 years I found they were just too short and ruined my back even with a 120 stem on - I think mine measures about 1040 with Cannondale P-bone forks. I then moved onto an 04 Control long which didn't feel that long to me even with the 120 stem on. I now have an 07 A1 long which measures about 1100 but I could still bunnyhop with relative ease (think I managed over 3.5"). The main thing I miss is the steeper head angle and the feeling it gives, it just seems to make the bike feel more fun - but then again my memory is probably going now.I think my best bet is Marino as no one else is going to want a stupidly long streetish bike as I just fancy trying a cross between the Control and the Zebdi and A1.Anyway, at the moment I'm just dreaming as I won't be on a bike for another yearish.What you done Jamie?Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Thats done it you f**kers, I went out on my Planet X today, before the guy turned up with the money on friday, just arseing around on street, and I forgot how much I love it. Oops, better phone him up :$ Manuals......... Put a shorter stem on it, all I need now is some bars with more rise and I'm away! All hail old school street frames :bow: Matt Edited June 25, 2009 by Matt Vandart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
