Oh this is great. I have a PBH of 88.9. Is this frame too small for me? On Monday, December 10, 2012 12:24:01 PM UTC-8, Mojo wrote:

Real looker for sure. The specs say mountain bike, to me rather than all'rounder, or at least B-stone XO-inspired. I'd love to add it to my fleet and it would fit me but there are currently other demands on my limited discretionary funds. Steve, EL, MI. On Mon, Dec 10, 2012 at 5:21 PM, Michael

It has a long toptube in relation to the seattube - MTB low-standover style - so you need to judge based on the toptube. At my 80ish PBH the frame is technically within range, but certainly not with that stem and dropbars. As currently set up, it may fit you. Joe Bernard On Wednesday,

The bike is currently set up for a saddle height of 70.6 cm. Yes, I asked because (darn it!) it looks to be my size. A PBH of 88.9 cm should have a saddle height of closer to 80 cm, maybe 78 or 79cm. That's an extra 3 of seatpost, which means you'll need to raise the handlebar a similar amount

Of course the saddle height works perfect for me. But it's not gonna happen. I need a triple drivetrain for trails *and *the hills around my house, and the dropbars would be ditched for a Bullmoose I already have. I'd need to score it as a frameset the way he did, which is the only way I could

FWIW, I've bought from the seller before (a Joe Strack built/Joe Bell painted Rivendell single speed with track ends) and he's a pleasure to deal with. If you're interested in the bike, I can help put interested parties in contact with the seller. I suspect he's willing to negotiate a sell
