This thing's rad. How tall are you? I was thinking of getting this frameset or the Cinelli Vigorelli frameset. God this looks hot though. How's the toe overlap?

Thanks man!!!

Submitted by voulksguy on 09/30/2009.

I have ridden both, and honestly I like the Van Dessel more... They are about the same price retail, but Ive seen some deals as low as $ 650.

I have NO toe overlap what so ever... My crankarms are 172.5 too... This bike amazes me!!!! I love it.. I am 6 ft too

Frameset alone is 2.2lbs

WHACK : X

Actually my seatpost height is perfect for me... I have long legs... And that seat angle actually works perfect too... It angles my body forward so I have more to push off with... To each its own... thats what I say!!!

Thanks though

there is no way

Submitted by the rabbi on 10/01/2009.

to justify your seat angle, really. it kinda just shows you don't know how to fit your bike properly.

Nice

Did you get this bike from J Boyer form Sacramento? Or is the fork drilled and the rear brake hole covered with hard putty? If it is this is my old bike I traded him for his Vantuyl VT420. Happy to see it went to a good home. Only if it wasn't to small for me I would have never traded it.

Submitted by voulksguy on 09/30/2009.

I believe this is your old bike, hahaha... How long ago did you trade? Im curious....

The front fork is drilled, but covered... Dude, I love this bike!!

We did the trade about 2

Submitted by TrackStar on 09/30/2009.

We did the trade about 2 months ago I think. When I bought the frame about 6 months ago it was drilled for a front and rear brake. But I covered the rear hole.

The rear hole looks stock

Submitted by voulksguy on 09/30/2009.

The rear hole looks stock though... Did you paint it or something?

» login or register to post comments

Yeah

Submitted by TrackStar on 10/01/2009.

I used hard putty to fill the hole and waited for it to get hard then I used a paint brush.
