Cheers for the comments all. I know its not a full retro build but over the next few years it will hopefully evolve closer to what it was once.
Anyway, yeah cyfa2809 the bb does look a tab high, but in teh bikes defence the angle of teh pic makes it look higher than it is, as well, the chainset is only 170mm not 175mm so that may look the area look smaller, thus higher, but i suppose it is a tad high (i think i measured it at 14.5inches) but am gona run the suspension rather soft so hopefully it will sag down in its travel when riding. Either way I suppose that was the style back then.
Either way I cant wait to get her out on the trails.
safe trails
