In my experience with Josh's builds, he pays much more attention to details like that.
So, in my self proclaimed capacity as 'did Velo13 build these wheels in the 90s' adjudicator, I find in the negative.

Unlikely I would have laced them with labels to the offside.
Other thing to check, are the hub logos visible through the valve hole?

Yep, half attention to detailsVelo13 wrote:Then whomever built them was paying attention to the details somewhat .... still, nice wheels and a great score (even if I didn't build them ).

I used to ride a medium and now enjoying a smaller one.Dan wrote:After a year of riding bikes too small for me, I'm a convert.singlespeedscott wrote:its good to see I have converted you DanDan wrote:With that much seatpost and stem, I'm gonna say that frame is too small for you...
1. My knee have clear clearance and not bumping the T-T
2. I am on the bike, not in the bike
3. I ride medium on MTB, so I can use shorter stem. Small on Road bike so I can use 90++ mm stem.
Here is what I have been riding before-with 70mm stem, short handlebar. I always find myself sitting on the front edge of the saddle trying to reach the levers.
Like I have said before, if 54/56 frame with 51/53 T-T is readily available, that will work for me so I can use shorter seat-post. I appreciate your critique by the way, thanks.

re The sizing, if the five points of contact are in the right points in space, does it really matter how they got there and the rider feels comfortable?

Thanks Shaun. I am using Cinelli at the moment while I am still looking for Nitto Quill.Mulger bill wrote:Looks sweet Rheicel, did you find the Nitto stem you were after?

Ridden the bike yesterday for 6 hours with no numbness or any discomfort. This is my only working bike at the moment so I am trying to make it comfortable as possible to cater both commute and weekend rides. While look is also important to me, comfort is my priority as I sometimes ride a lot.

What's wrong with a 58 with a 56-57 top tube? Just run a shorter stem.ldrcycles wrote:I'm in the same boat, but more like 58 seat tube with 55 top.rheicel wrote: Like I have said before, if 54/56 frame with 51/53 T-T is readily available, that will work for me so I can use shorter seat-post.
