As some of you may have noticed, I've had a few of these over the past few years!... this one is different though; it's the 16" where all previous ones have been the 18" :shock:

I'm hoping it will suit me better! :facepalm:


Link to my previous (18")...

Q&D 'mock-up' to check size; I'm liking the fit







My inital build plan will be along the lines of Nick Craig's early 90's race bike....










Quick build up to check for size and do a quick test-ride....





Cheers

Sorry, but I really don't understand what you mean :?

It doesn't 'look' small ie. too much seatpost and the top-tube is the right length for me.

And why should the rigid fork make me 'wee'? :?
