Thought a 61 seemed a bit long initially but the more that I ride the more it think my 57 ridley just might not be quite long enough. I've seen you post a geo chart before of your bike, if you knew what sort of stack and reach numbers does it have?

carleton

My former 58cm Tiemeyer (that I was looking to replace and get something longer):
Stack: 56.5cm
Reach: 43.8cm


My 61cm Snyder:
Stack: 53.51cm
Reach: 45.62cm

Not as dissimilar as I'd thought actually, same angle's just a bit longer and taller overall.
Though at 189cm myself and with long arms I think my reach at 43cm isn't quite enough.

You're tall with long arms. Does that mean long legs as well, or are you built like a gorilla, long arms and short legs? If you have a short torso, you won't need as much reach as someone with a longer torso. You'll need more bar drop from the saddle if that is the case.

pierrej

Probably proportional legs, 82-83cm saddle height depending on crank length. Nothing freakish as far as arms go with a 199cm wingspan so it's not as if I'm and orangutan or anything haha

new (old) front wheel

pierrej

Took the advice, feel far more comfortable on the bike and a lot less bunched up

I've made some adjustments to my set up now that track season is upon us in southern Ontario. Running a Hed 3 rather than a 1080 up front and switched to a nice shallow Look sprint bar. New track frame has been delayed a bit and I may not have it done for another month or two. This will do for now.

carleton

Nice!

This looks a lot like Ondrej Sosenka's hour record bike.

I would like to hear about this frame (nice, by the way). It that a Rossin with the "in" removed?

pierrej

I'm not quite that tall but I see the resemblance, a quick measure puts it at 37ish cm saddle to drops

rustymongrel

Thanks! I built the frame. I don't sell any frames so I've never gotten around to having a logo done. I wanted to put something on it so I appropriated a Rossin decal and left off the "in" so it spells my name.

Baby Puke

Nice work! And classy appropriation of the Rossin font.

i think i found my forever bike

Hey, Roadie! I am interested in buying exactly the same Argon 13 frame. How does (did) it fare?

Thanks in advance.

JimiMimni

Got some fit work done. Also debadged, Punisher'd, re-taped, sneaked a power meter in, and took my lady's wheels.

pierrej

New bars needed a new stem and spacers (not really but aesthetics) so tried to match the bling, not quite the same but close enough.

Excuse the screenshots, can't resize on the phone

carleton

Very nice, Pierrej.

If you like leather straps, maybe consider NJS straps. They are pricey, but it's worth it. They have 3 layers and don't stretch or flop around like single layer straps.

Zoom Zoom....



I couldn't let you guys have all the fun

Felt TK FRD (size 60)

Succumbed to the carbon-lust again? lol.

The Siren's Song is so sweet.




I had a moment of weakness

Baby Puke

Nice! What race wheels are you gonna use?

carleton

Thanks! (you know me too well)

Ideally, 808 track front and Comete disc. If I can't find a Comete at a good price, I'll choose the Shimano PRO disc next.

I thought you didn't like your tk1. Why'd you go back?
