Frankenbike. The return.

No.

Shims?

Or just no?

Because it's a yes from me. Turns heads. And stomachs.

Just in case you missed it

Off to find some lumps to test out the crazy cassette.

Re:

From certain angles what's not to like?



Rides quite nicely actually. The gearing is enough to get an old bloater like me up anything without coughing up a lung so it's well over the top. You need to be of larger stature to appreciate the setup though. If you chuck it around it likes it. Remarkable grip at the front.I could hear the turf tearing as I braked coming down the hill. And the children screaming.

Lots of room for a larger tyre on the front.......... How fat can you go on a standard rim?

It's a lot less, er, bad than I was expecting matey!
Glad you toned down the cables

Just the saddle and bars that seem odd now.

Lovely part of the world, hope to ride there some day

I think there was a compliment in there somewhere?
