Hi
So after a lot of effort to build this frame up, I have decided that I just prefer the 29" wheel set up. So here it is. A 2000ish Rock Lobster steel Reynolds 853 frame. Its a 21" from center of the BB to the top of the seat tube. I am 6ft 3-4 and it fit me well with a good 7-8" of seat post up so I would say this frame would suit someone 6ft up. The BB threads are good and the rear dropouts are Ritchey. Its not been refinished in anyway from new and is a metallic midnight blue colour (the pics don't really capture it). It has unused v brake bosses and also disc tabs. It has come up well after a bit of love and polishing but does have some wear from cable rub, chainstay rash and the decals are not perfect. There is some residue in the seat stays that rattles when you turn the frame over, but when riding there is no noise.

Here are a couple of pics but the build thread is here:
