what a beauty!

but is it really 1080 with that 45 mm rake fork - would be a super short reach...?

I'll have a measure tomorrow with them forks.

where could i get one steve

go go go.

I've got a new Tryall stem now and it rides absolutely lovely, it's taking me a ride or 2 to get used to it.

Thanks for the comments so far guys.

Matt,

Awesome for both. It is short feeling in terms of its reach. Perfect for me, I'm 5ft 6 ish.

Dave Kerr rides one and he's pretty tall (to me anyway :giggle:) we'll probs be riding in Newquay or Aberystwyth some time in the near future dude, get a look at one then.

Amazing looking bike, if you can afford it get a try-all stem on there to finish it off!

I already have and it looks lovely, it rides a lot better too!

Forgot to say what do you think of that front tyre? Thinking of going back to maxxis at the moment.

yeah it's good for street which is mainly what I ride, I used to have nobby nic's and they were a bit better for a bit of both.

my larsen's always been a little bit better when it comes to flats though!

thanks for the comments so far guys. all good it seems!

** for those interested in the geo**

I've measured it and it comes to 1075 with Urban forks, with that high bb it somehow does ride really nice as long as you get the bar and stem set up right!

IS this frame actually comfortable for you? Really want one, but i'm 5 10. Does it feel cramped at all?

It is, bike feels shorter but I'm 5 10 as well and I loved every 1075 wheelbase bike I've owned (had 1085/1090 before and it was just alright). but the high bb and my further reach just somehow makes it feel so flickable. to be honest even when it had a standard trialtech stem it felt not cramped, but it didn't ride nice. so the answer is no!

try one if you can, its very different to many other bike's I've ridden before.
