I'd like to give you more info, but I didn't get any. I was pretty obsessive about the rest of the build. I knew what I wanted out of the frame- reasonably light and stiff- so that's what he built. I trusted him enough to do that that I didn't even bother to ask what tubes he was going with. After about 5 days on the bike, I really REALLY like it. Getting asked a lot about the tubes, so I guess I'll break down and ask him. I'll get back to you on that.Fivethumbs said:
Thanks. I didn't shoot those. Those were shot by the same guy who built the bike. He's multi-talented. Also taught dance for sixteen years and is, I hear, bit of a pool shark. If you're registered on Flickr, you can ask him about his camera set-up. He's pretty responsive about that kind of stuff.tober1 said:
If you look at a lot of the big bike companies' specs on larger frames, the the head tube and seat tube angles start to get a little weird. And the finished frames are certainly not as good looking, or "normal" looking, as their smaller bikes. I suspect this is because of the expense of multitple carbon molds and having to source multiple tube lengths. In the end, they can make a bike fit with a longer stem and seat adjustment. The idea of this frame was to put me- a larger rider- in a classic position on the bike. Since the geometry is more "medium," Ezra was able to get those angles with lugs. If he were to mimic the geometry of, say, a large Tarmac, the lugs wouldn't have worked. The stem is relatively short (100mm) because I come from a mountain bike background. This leaves me plenty of room to lengthen it if I choose.atpjunkie said:
