And Miche has switched to 144. Its the Japanese standard that has become the pseudo world standard

Just rub it in a little bit anyway judging by your other 10,000 frames this one looks to big for you . If those cranks are bigger than 165 and your moving them on keep me in mind ,good luck to you the early bird gets the worm

Lol, it is a 57cm TT. Borderline for me, but then again, I'm scabbing the parts for my track bikes, then the frame will be off to a friend in Melbourne.

I don't remember this one QV. Early 2000s I want on the bike much though, regrettably.
I like the gusset too but wow, THAT is a tall head tube!

It's called Freuler design/geometry. The TT is a couple centimeters below top HT and ST. HT is 16cm, so about normal for a 57cm frame. Bigger Colnagos had a similar design as Urs Freuler wanted that on the frames he rode.

Sweet wheels Foo. Did you buy them second hand or are they a custom build.

Second hand mate and only ridden on twice. :mrgreen:

Got them from a bloke in Tassie that made them up last year (a wheel builder with 40yrs experience) but he decided they were to good for his poor talent. :shock:

Glad you are liking the wheels Foo. Great to see a picture of them in the bike. Funny though I ride a Fuji track bike as well.

How do you find those bars, GW? I hated the mongrel things and put my 35yr old Track bars back on. :wink:

Yes, do need some new bars. These were the ones that came with the bike. For the track can find a nice position. Might be OK on a road bike.

I've been sick of looking and feeling like a great dane shagging a tennis ball! I've stepped up in sizing from a 58 with a 130mm stem to the Felt TK3 61cm and have kept the 130mm stem and 3T bars. First ride yesterday arvo, felt (no pun intended) much better.
Now if i can find a decent set of legs!

Cheers

Nice bike, Brades. 8)

I'm hunting for a new frame but so far, have had no luck. Thought I was onto a Teschner over in Perth but they want to much money + couldn't tell me exactly how old it was. :roll:
