South Bound's Funk Build (now without Funk!)

This is a 16.5" chap....looks the same to me (and mine is a bit too small for me but not gonna get ridden much, if at all) >>>>

How tall are you Neill? (Go on, say 6'1")

5' 10"
32" inside leg




and currently fatter than I should be

Hmmm, 5'11", 31 inside leg, pretty similar. Reckon it would work with a layback post and a longer stem?

Right then, getting demented with the tape here. I make the measurements:

BB (centre) to top of seat tube approx 18" (more like 17 3/4").
BB (centre) to top of top tube 17" dead on.
Head tube centre to centre of seat tube (along centre of top tube) 22"

Have I done these measurements along the right axis? Seems odd that the last one is 1 1/2" longer than Neill's????

I can't see a frame number anywhere, or signs that one has been removed...

Also evidence of original Decals, but have to look closely to see them. Funk is spelled out in an angular font, one I have not seen before.

What like this(only black instead)?



Im 6'5 and i ride an 18" frame,just jack the post up and some spacers,i ride the Funk shed loads and never felt uncomfortable during a ride.

lol - hope you flogged me a long enough steerer then, Andy!

Can't work out the decal at all, but what is worrying me is the lack of a frame number and the absence of the third small hole in the dropout. Does that mean anything?

Paranoid of Oxon!

The steerer you had was the same length as the one ive got on my 18" mate,lol

What third hole,theres only 2 drilled holes above where your wheel fits?

Little tiny one, on a horizonal level and aft of the QR in the drop out.

Yours has one on the drive side at least!

Ah yeah,i got them on both sides.Dont think DrS had them on his frame though mate.
