Wanted Steel frame 27.5

[nicklej]

Interesting. I have a Scion, can it run 27.5 then? I had been contemplating selling it as I've too many bikes, though I always struggle with the pipedream as it's a lovely 853 steel frame and ride.

Yeah I believe so. My titanium pipe dream could run 650 b using the sliding dropouts and they sent me a list of frames that could accommodate the wheels I had so don't take my word for it but that's the advice they gave me at least

No, they're not available on their website. I contacted them by WhatsApp because titanium frame cracked and they are really helpful offering a suitable replacement

Ahh that's a bugger. Half tempted if they were available / price right etc

The price per frame is £250 plus £20 postage

The only ones that are not available are the 19.5 in red one and the 18 inch titanium one because I got both of those lol. If you PM me, I'm just walking home at the moment but I can send you their number so that you can ask you about buying another one

If it helps, mine is a 19.5 and I'm a shade under 6ft and it is a perfect fit. I'd think 18 inch would be too small for someone of a similar size to 6ft. Since owning the 19.5 it has actually made me re-evaluate my frame sizes as it's so much more right than what I'd usually have gone for size wise (18 inch), I feel much less cramped and hunched and just comfortable when compared to an 18 inch.

I also have to say that my 19.5 inch Sirius is the best fitting bike I've had. I'm 5'11

Not convinced you'll get a 27.5 wheel on a pipedream Scion frame based on my current setup which is 26er running 2.2 tyres. A pic to show you why I'm thinking this. Not much more room to fit a wider 26 inch tyre.
