Hi!
Great bike and great set of pieces.
Can anybody tell me the exact size for the seat clamp?
I bought a Hope 28,6 clamp for my 18' Xizang, and the seatpost goes slightly (but clearly) down when I ride (27,2 Thomson seatpost)
Should I tighten harder, or change the size, or just change the seatpost and the bike? :lol:
Thanks in advance

Fantastic looking bike. The only thing I'm not too sure about is the wheels. But I guess that's just a matter of taste.
Loving those forks, they suit the bike perfectly.

8). Molto bella Adri!

Though I'm not sure of the HEDs either, nor of the red ano in combination with the beautiful fluoro-yellow decals...

Enjoy it!
