A guide price would probably help! E.g. £3k as pictured or £1200 frame only?
Cris BloomfieldKeymasterAnd maybe they should only be available to people with over three IFs?
Cris BloomfieldKeymasterMaybe we need to get some IF addict t-shirts made up :P
I know there are a few of you…

I would say it will be fine! If you look at old italian road frames some had big cut outs in the shell to ensure drainage, not just a single 3/16th drilled hole. Like this old Gios:
The whole point is so that the bearings are not sitting in a shell full of water. Originally this was more important with open cage bearings (remember those from the Days of Deore DX?), but even with more modern units it can mean the only way out for the water is through the bearings! Water in the shell can cause the aluminium cups to seize onto the steel body of a square taper cartridge unit or the frame itself in extreme conditions.
If you ride in wet conditions a lot and have a rearward facing seat tube slot then some water will eventually find its way in (a well greased seatpost will help keep it out too). Using a quick release seatpin and adjusting the ride height frequently always used to seem to make things worse too.

Cris BloomfieldKeymasterHow is it looking internally when you take the bottom bracket out of the shell?
I have had all of my steel IF frames drilled for drainage given the climate here in the UK…
Cris BloomfieldKeymasterCool, looking forward to seeing it.
Happy New Year to all the family Dave, hope the riding is good for you in 2013 :)
Cris BloomfieldKeymasterIs it for you Dave?

IF will do what every you want and as such I am not sure you’ll get a standard answer. Each bike and frame could be different depending on the requested spec.
You should get some guards painted though, it’d look ace :)

Cris BloomfieldKeymasterNew look is up. If you spot any niggles or bugs let me know. Still planning some significant under the hood changes too.
Cris BloomfieldKeymasterThat sucks Alex, but they could not have stolen a more distinctive and unique bike. This is a one off!
