Notes:

fuckin' right.

The drops are temporary at best. Things are just way too aggressive to be safe/comfortable riding with everyday on the street.

I ordered the 60cm, and from BB to TT is 60cm, but the spacing of the downtube and the top tube seems smaller than the other 60's I've seen on here. But whatever it is, I'm a little over 6'1 and it fits just fine.

Sorry for the shitty, poorly lit, cell phone pictures. Better ones whenever I have time.

Pursuit!

Submitted by Bubblewraplastik on 10/24/2008.

Why ride a pursuit if you aren't gonna ride pursuit? Just don't get risers. All in all, I love the Affinity frames, as well as pursuit in general, and yours is no exception.

well, you see

Submitted by ninethings on 10/24/2008.

my reasoning in using risers most of the time is that I'm a courier and having 30lbs of shit on your back being down that low is a bit akward. Also, I'm a photo major and carrying around a 12lb camera and a bunch of other necessary shit is also, akward. I like the drops on when I'm just riding around having fun, but for practicality sake, risers are the usual day to day

I have an Affinity and am

Submitted by Tbirdbassist on 10/24/2008.

I have an Affinity and am also a courier. I ride mine with Syntace Stratos and have no problem carrying heavy shit in the dropped position. If you have the right stem set up and enough steerer to put in a 1/2in or so spacer, it is very comfortable.

I'm now on my second Affinty frame as I destroyed my black one avoiding hitting some asshole teenagers and skidding sideways into the back of a stopped taxi at 15 mph, fun.

Great frames, deserve bullhorns.

i wouldnt think of even attempting it in the drops. Matts got these deals now where if you buy 6pks ofany drink its way cheaper. August and I had to carry a 154dollar order of just drinks.

Drops...

Submitted by SPedelty on 10/24/2008.

I find drops like that on the street downright ridiculous. You ride in the bottom ever?

well

Submitted by ninethings on 10/24/2008.

They're my buddies drops. I just had them on because I thought itd be ridiculous but when they were on and when i WAS riding with them it was the middle of the night. I'd definitely not ride them every day because I only went in the drops 1 or 2 times over an 8hr period. its just too much. like a 14in drop from the seat
