Sweet ride! I will look you up if I'm in Detroit. I have family there. Likewise to you if you find yourself in Louisville.
I'm 6'4" and my PBH is around 96cm. I've got nowhere near your reach. I bet my reach is in the 90cm range. Just found out it will ship today or tomorrow and couldn't be more excited. I always build my bikes myself and it's one of my absolute most favorite things to do. The build will be a combination of new and old parts, Brooks, Mavic, 105, Ultegra, DuraAce, Silver, Nitto, King (cages, not headset/hub/bottombracket), etc. I'll run Jack Browns and Marathon Supremes (35 and 40mm) on it most likely. I was thinking about giving the Grand Bois Cypres tire a whirl too. Oh, and I gotta put some Honjo's on it too. And a generator hub....and an Acorn bar bag.....and a front rack.... and some sweet lights.....and....and....and..... Very excited! I was very particular about the size of this frame, as the 64cm Bombadil I own and tour on is a *just a tiny tiny* bit big when running super fatty 29er tires. So I used my experience from that frame to try to hopefully dial in the size perfectly. Of course, Keven is the man when it comes to offering great guidance. I will post photos of both rides when the Hilsen is complete! Cheers! Patrick Louisville, Ky On Jan 5, 1:40 pm, AmiSingh <asd...@gmail.com> wrote: > It's a 69! > > How tall are you Pat?
