Re:

Thanks all for kind words

Moritz,
I've not yet ridden it (currently very busy) I know of course the seat post is very high!
'm currently not in the harbor, but a tour for the weekend is planned (then will post some outdoor pics)

..and the decals will be replaced.

Really nice look to this bike.
great job.

nice collection of parts, but i have to offer my opinion on a few points.

1) i really hope that the seatpost height isn't your riding position, as i'd have to agree with Moritz that the frame is a "tad" small for you.

2) isn't the AC of the Syncros fork too short given geometry of a 96/97 frame would be suspension corrected?

3) the lower Syncros decals you added are the wrong size and much too small. it should be the same proportions as those on the cranks.

Beautiful build Nader! That bike is screaming to be ridden and ridden fast.

Thanks guys

This is at the moment the main problem and I know it. Sure if the ride comfort suffers, then I have to take another fork (but it would be a shame).

First ride today..

A Xizang can be well controlled, it's really a perfect racing machine

Didn't find out any disadvantages due to too short AC of the Powerlite and I'm very surprised at how well work the Avid Tri Angles.

I'm thrilled

She's a beaut, nice, clean & classy understated build. What hubs & rims are they though, what did she end up weighing ?
