Finally got some spare time to put this together last night...
It's a 21.5" top tube Subrosa Pandora frame with all the bits from my Evolution on it. Decided to grab it as it was sooooo loooooong and just right for my 6'4" body to cruise around on.
Still managed to keep it nice and light even with some good all-round tyres on...it weighs 23lbs 9oz.
Man it feels BIG!
Sorry there are so many pics, it was just quite photogenic and I like to snap. :daumenhoch:

rearly sweet that stodgy

Forgot to say...big thanks to Jon Taylor at Seventies for finding me the frame!
And also to Stevie B for sending me a crank puller so I could get those cranks off!!
:daumenhoch:
-
Thats way nice Dave, looking really good.
So you managed to get the brake off the UK bikes frame then? Did you go for the zip tie puller idea in the end?
Its strange that you are 6ft+ tall and your seat is still so low?? I guess its for whips, right?
-
Ah, the brake...that was fun!
They have a little brass sleeve that holds the bearing secure...it's a very tight fit! Resorted to rubber mallet and a towel...soon came off.
And yep a low seat for all those whips I pull Al. I wish.

i'm on a 21.5 too and it feels spot on for my lanky frame!
first frame i've ever had that actually feels like it fits me,

I thought of you Joe and your Longer Than Fook when I got this frame from Seventies, and I'm hoping it'll be the end of the back pain just for scooting around on.
I have no idea of how it rides yet as haven't been out on it...but hoping today, fingers crossed.
Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated.
