Well, he should know...
Well, he should know...
450mm? hmmm! Good to know. Easier than finding an OS steerer 425mm fork for my Ibis.Unfortunately I don't get to tinker as much as I would like because there are just too many other things going on at the moment...
However I knew that the frame had two dents on the top tube before I bought it. At first I thought they wouldn't bother me, but that wasn't the case after all.

They look much worse in the pictures than they actually were, but I still wanted to remove them. As I could only have done the work myself with filler and didn't want to, I got professional help.
I've just picked up the frame during my lunch break and I'm very happy with the result!

Next step: Restoring the paint
I also had contacted Scot Nicol about the fork and he recommended a height of around 450mm.
Thanks again to you @Prodigal Son!
I already have two forks in mind and will see when I can present an update here.
Until then, I wish you all a nice weekend!

The only things that are mussing right now are a saddle and a seatpost and some smaller bits.
Still have to restore the paintjob.
