Good question. 22.5" TT and 130-135mm stem for everything. The more complex the build spec, the worse the bike performs. My builds now are pretty boring. Uniform XT or XC Pro with only slight deviations for supporting parts. I will no longer run vintage tires or aluminum bars or most CNC bits...

No sense in starting a new thread, just update this one. I don't have any of the bikes from the first post. Lots of trial and error and upgrades. They all get ridden. 1982 Breezer Series III #32 1983 Cunningham Indian #G 1985 Otis Guy 1991 John Tomac Signature Ti/Carbon Raleigh (Merlin...

Sorry to hear about Nigel. Glad you were able to make the human connection and carry the torch on a rad bike. The question is…have you ridden it?

Based on build details, this was probably the best way to go. That’s a usable bike.

I sure hope you got the ex-TPC bike that came up for sale recently. And why not a complete bike but it needs to be usable?

I don’t even know you man. Happy to not have to log on to rbuk for the foreseeable future though! 🤣

I don’t know anything about stuff being bought that isn’t mine. And I was saying my auction was too restricted and needed to open it up internationally. But uh…go ahead and keep all your NOS Tioga stuff I guess.

Sorry fellas. Had a lot of international interest that were unable to bid with how I had the auction set up. And some out of pocket time for myself where I won’t be able to field questions or pack/ship quickly. Pulled it for now.

Man, haven’t logged on here in years! Happy to answer questions if ya got ‘em. No it’s not welded crooked. Camera angle isn’t dead 100% perfect. This thing is legit and a true cream puff. I bought it from the original owner who ran a shop back in the day, but he was primarily a roadie...

Re: Re: That thing came out brilliant!

Very few (if any) Cannondales are truly 'rare'. I'd start there. I've seen enough SBikes, so I'm not convinced they're deeply rare. The Rourke looks pretty cool. Not familiar with them as the only Rourke we have here is Mickey. If there isn't a monetary reason for selling them, have you...

Re: Re: Oooh. My bad. The frame I sent was a large Boulder with the seat tube measuring 21" center to top. So yes, you (should) be able to get it to fit within limits.

Re: Re: The Litespeed built frames came in either 17.5" or 19". Aprox 60 were made in total. This is a Merlin built frame and all 14 frames were 19". Is yours full ti? I think those came in a 21"+ size.

Re: Re: You're in luck, this one didn't come from the UK! Are you thinking of the Atkin's bike?
