Why don’t you get something bespoke? View attachment 551438

bespoke as in a frame building course ?

bespoke as in a frame building course ?

As in made to measure. Brazed. As above was for me. After discussing favoured geometry and use.

If I had the hands on skillz that Mr Peachy is blessed with, I'd want to make my own frame.

I’d have one, can’t fault my yellow rc127, black rc127 or blue rc627.......awesome bikes

 

[Peachy!]

There’s a nice nearly new one on eBay at the mo.. only a large unfortunately (I’d want an extra large) and sram rather than XT…

You flatter me…. I’m quite happy to clean, paint, restore, customise etc etc… but actually build a frame? Not so sure about that.

 

[Hotwheels.]

I never got on with Santa Cruz bikes in the past as they always were a bit shorter and taller than the equivalent Oranges.

God damn, that’s exactly it.

It is a sexy looking bike. Especially in that red. How modern you wanting to go with geometry?
Is it gonna be more of a mile muncher, or mess around on steeps, type of steed?
