While limited in scope due to one frame size only at this time this looks like a very clean bike from a very reputable source.
Sell through - no. They actually arrived at the end of November so they all have that new bike smell.So, did they all sell through? Slates website says that there was only 100 in the first run and they were expected October 2007. I need yet another bike (let alone a SS) like a hole in the head but that happens to be pretty close to the numbers of my custom Strong... No mention where/by who the frames are built, do you know Mike? Congrats on the progression of the shop, too.
Hey, I think you'll fit fine. I'm 6'1" with a 34" inseam and I feel it fits fine. I normally run a 100mm stem on it with a suspension corrected rigid fork. Tons of standover, plenty of room to stretch out, and it handles fantastically.gTed, wondering if you could help me decide if the blackbuck frame will fit me.
I currently ride & enjoy my large Avanti KISS (http://www.avantibikes.com/single-speed/kiss-29.aspx?bid=74) aka Raleigh XXIX but am keen to switch over to the Blackbuck.
Do you think the 9.5mm shorter ETT lenght on the Blackbuck will be noticeable? I currently switch between a 90 & 60mm stem on the KISS depending on my mood so am thinking it should be OK. For what it's worth I am 6" tall, no idea about standover height though
Any comments appreciated.
Cheers
Alistair
Ano is on it's way back, my shop just built an Ibis Mojo SL with ano Dw links, Crank bros wheels and headset spacers, all blue and a perfect match with the dials on his fox suspension, it is pretty rad.Ha ha! Yes, I love anodized goodies. I had quite the collection of stuff and as you can see, some of it is on this build.
Another industry friend told me ano is on the way back, to just sit tight for new goodies. I hope he's right. Black and silver are not all that exciting or fun, ya know?
Viva La Colors!
That's all I need to hear, time to place my orderIt's one of my favorite bikes right now. Highly recommended.
