21" Frame. Swiped it from my brother's garage. Put pedals and tires on it. I'm 6' 2"with my heels on. Rides nice with the Scwalbe's. Anyone else running Schwalbe's?
German Company.
My bro is 6'5" with his heels on. he makes that bike look small.

God, tarck is a pain. I post a WTB thread for some SS wheels for the girls build and a guy Pms me and says 40 + ship.
I say ok, that might work, but could you get me a shipping quote? So he goes and packages it all up and goes to the post office to get the cost and then gives me the quote, which is much higher than expected, so i say its a no go
Now he's shitting on the thread saying i agreed to it when i never asked him to do any of that, so
Pain.

I road my Felt in this morning and every few miles the rear wheel was completely lose. The skewer has the cam action, but when I tighten the lever there's no over-center and the force just slowly pushes the lever back out.-Chris

IRO, how are they? Have an opportunity to get a cheap, one with Dedacciai COM 12.5 tubing and a CF for a decent price. I'm riding a Specialized S works right now that was converted by me and I don't like the angles.
Missed out on a cheap Langster S works last month while on the road. Darn.
They are made in Tawain, so not bad, my Motobecane Century Pro was made there but Not that familar with IRO.

Which IRO are you looking at? They have really good geometry and I like the frames a lot.-Erik

I know its the nice biking season in the NE. Anyone ever hit Kingdom Trails in Vermont? I was up there two years ago and it was a ton of fun. Strange to say it was a bit of a joke compared to central PA riding, but there was a lot of fast singletrack. Locally we just ride over shit tons of rocks and abuse both our bikes and our bodies. The downhills are so short they you pretty much ride uphill the whole day.
