I feel your pain

A bit OT, but it’s just an eBay thread.

Recently, I’ve been wondering about this: so a big 26” MTB is about 20” seat tube, which is like a small road bike. Yes, I hear you cry, but the TT on a big 26” MTB is like a big road bike @ 22 or 23”. So it is: but put on a decent saddle and some bars that come all the way back (Nitto Bosco, etc) and you end up with a nice, long cool cruiser, no?

Yes and yes: Joneseses are a good call (I use some less extreme ‘Moon’ bars that come back some of the way - guess the point is there’s so much choice now.)

dig the Simoncini (thinks that’s also a hip coffee these days .....); we need more real world bikes like that. reckon you could have got away with a bigger frame too.
