    For Sale 20” frames

    Do you know what the effective top-tube measurement is on the Kona? Maybe it's a bit difficult to measure as it's dropped...? The seat-tube is 20" to the top, right?

    Long cranks.

    I'm 6'3" with pretty long legs & have 180mm on mtb, 175mm on tourer, 165mm on fixed gear. They're all fine to ride, but I think 180 is the most "comfy" for me. When I switch from mtb to fix I can feel my legs moving in tiny circles, maybe it is more aero but it feels like I'm not using the...

    Lugged frame builders in the UK

    What I heard was that they owned the building (so the framebuilders didn't need to pay for premises), rented out the shop unit downstairs (so they also had a separate income that subsidised the framebuilders, maybe paid utilities, maybe more, dunno details), and the veteran framebuilders weren't...

    Lugged frame builders in the UK
