Revolver Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 It's so nice, but word is it'll cost a bomb. Looks like I'm going to buy a because... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Swales Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yeah, at €600 it's certainly right at the top of the price range! It's a shame, if he'd priced it a bit lower it could have been very popular! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame, if he'd priced it a bit lower it could have been very popular! Exactly. EDIT: Made in China Also I may yet get taken in by this gag as after reading the article this guy seems pretty cool and needs some kind of reward for taking the plunge + it looks like a very nice frame. Any Ideas of the Geo or did I miss that part? Edited March 17, 2010 by Matt Vandart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any Ideas of the Geo or did I miss that part? The geo's on one of the other pages. Longueur de l’empattement 1060mm Longueur des bases 368mm Hauteur du boîtier de pédalier +60mm Angle de direction 71° Good BB height. Really seems like a good geo, but for me, £500 is too much for a frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaaahh, The because has the same reach as an inspired, according to tarty. Also, the because has a steeper head angle than this. This one will probably feel longer, but it's head angle means it won't feel like a barge. Or shouldn't, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 ...oh hi there. Our geometry's pretty similar to what Kabra suggested it should be, although I found the HA was 71.5° with a set of Urbans on. Got some more detailed photos too. I can't remember if it was this thread or another, but it's got a 116mm rear end. Weight's around 1.685kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really measure it, or do you measure the wb, reach and do the maths? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siede. Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) Am I the only one praying for a decent, Fans-looking 24" Frame with 135 dropouts & vee mounts ? uuuh... must be dreaming The finish just looks wrong Edited May 1, 2010 by siede.

Do you really measure it, or do you measure the wb, reach and do the maths? We've got a couple of slightly undersized headsets we put into the frames, then slot a pair of forks in. We've then got an angle gauge we use to check the correct geo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
