Nice pics! This is the smallest size Xizang, isn't it? Do you happen to know (or would you mind measuring) the top tube length and the headtube length of your frame?

the frame is an 18", or 16" in GT sizes. (c2c) top tube is 550mm (c2c), and headtube is 100mm

Thanks for measuring Sean! But I think you measured your seat tube, not the toptube? If it's no trouble for you, could you measure the toptube for me (center to center)? I'm making a list of titan frames that would fit my liking (geometry wise)

Top Tube is 550mm centre to centre

Hope this helps

Thanks Sean! That is a pretty short frame compared to the seattube size isn't it?

it is quite short. however, compared to other frames it has a more upright riding position, which i find more fomfortable to ride

ive had the bike built up before, it would suit someone between 5'7" - 5'11" id say... maybe 6ft at a push

I bought these forks to replace the rock shox that were on the bike earlier this year. they were good forks, however they didnt really suit the silver/blue scheme of the frame, and ive allways liked the look of pace forks on an unpainted bike from other builds ive seen here

I picked these up from the sorting office this morning. Pace RC30 Rigids in fantastic condition (thanks to CTK) They are the 2nd generation RC30 Fork and probably a 1993/1994 model. should look great fitted to the frame and i'll get some pics posted of that later

cheers
