tempting... so tempting... if only i could justify it to the keeper of the funds and monitor of the mortage...
was surprised when i wandered into work this morning to find a nice looking fixie leaning up against my office wall - Thought somebody had read my mind and bought me a pressie!
Odd little beast it was. Orange and black Ken Evans frame... Not sure if that makes it high-spec or not, but definitely gave me something to ponder other than work for the first hour or so!

track frame and unpainted Kerry Hopkins road frame)......don't tell the
missus or any of the tall blokes in here (although I am hoping that not too
many other guys would be able to get a leg over a 64cm c-c seat tube!!!

i looked at this and am curious about the size of this thing;
Seat Tube Measurement (centre to centre) - 64cm
Top Tube Measurement (centre to centre) - 58cm
i went to; http://www.bikebuster.com/stelguide.cfm
and worked out the frame size for myself(see below)..
with an inside leg of 80cm, height 188cm, best size for me is 53-55 cm.
then worked out, inner leg of 95cm, height of 205cm is about right for
roadbike max. height of 65 cm, which makes this bike c'n hoooj!
and the rider even c'n hoooojer!!!
cheers,
kim

I just entered my measurements on that site (196cm tall and 96cm inner leg)
and I got the following:
MTB min. height 20.93 inches 52.32 cm
MTB max. height 22.69 inches 56.74 cm
Roadbike min. height 63.36 cm
Roadbike max. height 65.57 cm
So, according to this, the 64cm seat tube should be pretty well on the money
for me.
All I have to do now is hope that no-one else bids on it and I get it for
$101.
Ride On,
Gags
