thirsty2 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) hi.I'm looking at getting the Adamant A1 soon, but im not quite sure what length to get.If any of you have got one, could you please post up a picture of it with a quick spec, the length of the frame, and how tall you are because, im worried that the 1065 might be too short and cramped, or the 1095 might be too long. I'm 5ft 9/10 and I'm on a Saracen with a 1065 wheelbase with a + 15 bb rise, and it feels too small.Help much apresiated thanks!!!Alex!!

human_furball Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Spindl3's name on here surprisingly is.............Spindl3Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) Spindl3's name on here surprisingly is.............Spindl3Chris You can make second accounts...and as 'Spindl3's website is 'farehamtrials'.... It makes sense to me...calm down anyway! EDIT: As I've ruined your topic, I thought I might help you. My mate has an Adamant A1, Unfortunatley I don't kbnow the wheelbase, but it's long, but has such a high BB. So it feels shorter. He has crap spinny gearing on it, so it's harder to ride, but it stays on the backwheel very well. He's about 6ft 4..tall fooker And the bike suits him well. He doesn't look cramped or anything.

theone2be Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 After waching you ride, and learning off of you (thanks by the way). I would say long would suit your style more. I say go long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luccosleeps Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 well if a 1065 wb is too short couldn't of come to the conclusion that you would need a longer frame??? also what saracen are talking about with the 1065 wb?? i never seen one with that length of frame.

Wiggins15 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I'd choose a frame depending on how tall u are, personally i prefer the longer frames but id say if ur short you'd probably ride the short frame easier, if ur tall id go with the long frame.
