Hello Adam, I could be interested in the frameset / forks combo, if the sizing works out and this is still available?

The top-tube on my current IF 29r ride (illustrated) is shorter, but the sea tube is the same.

Would be interested to do a comparison using images and the build sheet if convient.

Here’s my Dumb & Dumber story…

Ch.1 DUMB

Saturday Bank Holiday Augsust 2006 zipping along at around 30mph along our little country lanes, go around a corner straight into the back of parked 4×4… My Giro Xen took must of the impact in a crash test dummy style, followed by collar bone. Frame & Forks are mashed, but hold out long enough for me to ride onwards to seek assistance.

Here’s the funny part…

Ch.2 DUMBER

Saturday Bank Holiday August 2007 taking heed of the previous years misadventure I am gently cruising down to folks place on my good ol’ Indy Fab Deluxe to sit in the saftey of their garden for the evening …dipping in & out of traffic…dazzled by the sun I slam straight into a builders skip flying over the bars superman stylee.I emerge covered in plaster dust and a kind gentleman in a sports car gives me a lift home…The outcome is the top tube is severely dented / bent, as is the box fresh Giro Xen, and an entertaining evenig sat in A&E to follow. (Luckily bones all okay this time).

Sean,

OK thanks for the tip, goodluck with the auction … will go and check it out

Sean,

Thanks for your message, that’s a very sweet bike.

I would really be interested in just the frame (+ EBB unit) & fork.

The sizing sounds good too – if possile please can you email me the diagram with frame measurement, and let me know what a kind of price your looking for.

Also I am located in the U.K. so hopefully you would be okay with shipping?

All the best,

John

Thanks Dave I might well do so…I figure if I start saving now by the time prototyping is settled I can get the bike of my dreams!

[John Williams]

Hi Ian,

Can you tell me what does the seat tube measures please? (c-c)

Secondly how have you measured the tt?

(…I used to ride a 19inch Deluxe but am not sure the tt on mine was as spacious as this)

cheers,

John
