looks sweet dan and love them million dollar sprockets
-
Very nice :4_17_5: lovin that sprocket :daumenhoch:
-
Nice Dan !
Nice garage too :coolsmiley:
-
its cold to tidy up so being a lazy bum
summers the time to tidy.
-
nice Dan! Whats happening to my old Red pk in the background - youve stripped it down!
Is that an UnKnown frame then ? Looks great.
-
it sure is steve ,they all get stripped down in my gaff for roomo then fettled another day.
its a very short unknown 20" i think ,dibly will know havent even measured it come to think of it .
i cant get on with the 21" frames even being tall so when he said he had a 1 off short pup i said o yes please
and its very comfy.

Lookin good there dan :daumenhoch:
OK, here is a question: Does top tube length mean as much as it used to?
With standover heights getting lower, and the toptube is more sloping down toward the seat tube, a frame would have to have a longer top tube to have the same "ride" size. Then add to that the steeper head angle that makes the same "length" frame have a shorter wheelbase. On top of that, no one uses the seat for anything now so it doesnt matter if its a few inches foward or backwards in relation to the stem or back wheel.
I aint got any answers, but its all messed up now. Maybe we need a new system, if anyone even cares any more.

My 21"tt unknown does feel longer that my 20.5"tt LTF Alex, and the rear triangle is exactly the same ???
-
maybe its a mental thing alex ,this feels just right ...on my take frame i had to pull the bars back a nano so my arms felt right
on this they are straight .
-
looks good
i agree with alex! my 21" ltf with short rear end, feels the same as my old fly 20.6 with long rear end! apart from the weight :LolLolLolLol:
-
you'll notice that a few companies are now stating that their frames are sized as a 21.2 for example, but feel like a 21", etc etc, I think its alone or sputinic or one of those companies thats doing this - and its all to do with exctly what Alex says - new geometry means a new 'feel' to a frame - ive always stuck with S7M as I feel comfy aboard all their frames right now in 21" size, even thou the LTF is lower!
-
i cant tell the difference from a 17" toptube to a 23" toptube, its all :idiot2:
-

-
Dan is that the original paint ???
-
yep all as it come.
-
Must be the light then, it looks a little lighter shade of Black than mine, even a little grey-ish ???
I PMed Del earlier about doing some decals for mine, I think the decals they come with look a bit wrong :-\
-
it looks fairly black but might be a tad different as this was an early prototype
decal wise this never had any.
-
