That is a nice looking bike for sure. Medium right? Those DT hugi hubs Ave their own distinct sound don't they?Having bought and fitted the Switchblades, obviously a Bontrager Comp came up. I tried to ignore it, the Switchblades were fine, but they were taunting me, so f*#k it, why not!
I also have a Mag 21, that Dan Chambers is performing steerer tube surgery on. Gone from no forks to 3 in the space of 2 weeks!
Also swapped the Bar and stem for a Bontrager and Controltech respectively and fitted a USE seatpost. I wanted a bit more shiny to go with the forks. View attachment 554077View attachment 554079View attachment 554080View attachment 554081View attachment 554082

@Oldskool26er thanks again yes it's a medium.
The DT hubs are loud, definitely don't need a bell, just stop pedalling for a second!

If you don't mind me asking how tall are you? Just asking to compare my fit you med vrs my large frame.

Same here...thinking I might fit a medium better than my large....

Probably. although the large is only 0.4" longer in the toptube than a medium and the headtube is the same length. A 10mm shorter stem would put the bars in the same place. Obviously the seat tube is 2" longer with the associated change in standover height. Depends how long your legs are really. I will say that despite all that I personally wouldn't want a large!

I'm having second thoughts about the large myself. Not a big difference like you said between measurements sans for the seat tube as you said. Aesthetically though the medium is more pleasing to the eye with the more sloping too tube. Obviously a persons height dictates frame size.
