good to see it built and ready to ride .

how tall are you ? that frame was huge !

6ft2..........ish lol, finally got a proper post and tbh most of its buried in the frame. rides really nice, got some new rubbers coming next week to soften the rear end up a bit.

test ride today went well, 22ish miles and the only faults (other than me) were the shit pedals, and realising that a 3ft kicker in the woods that used to be 2ft high sends mr longun very high and very scared!!!! that and 12-28 and 28 38 48 biopace rings require leg muscles...........

during the ride, lighter than my 30lb modern bike, easier to lift over the bloody gates

all muddy, but still in one piece!!!
