It was a last minute decision, but I'm still going to run the Hilsen for
the SFR 300k tomorrow. Maybe I can get the scratch together to build a
700c dynamo wheel and have the BMC ready for the 400 next month.

Fantastic service. Wow.
And here's an illustration of how the frame can "float" between your
contact points. Based on frame angles, bikes with the same tube
lengths can fit very differently, and bikes with very different tube
lengths can fit the same. The bizarro-world of non-intuitive
relationship

Don't worry, I've got you covered. I still have my LHT, Hilsen, CC and
Bryant randonneur.
As for measuring bikes, I wish it could be standard

stack = height of top of the headtube above the center of the BB
Reach = horizontal distance between the center of the BB and the center of
the headtube at the top

What are "reach" and "stack"?

Sticking to c-c or c-t seat tube measurement only works in a level top

The lack of consistency in frame measurement really bugs me. I wish the

I measure bikes to the top of the top tube at the seat tube junction,
too. Not to the top of the seat tube collar.
That's definitely good to know about the BMC bikes.

FWIW, if Mike had handed me these bikes, and told me to resell them, I
would call my '59' a 58. It is 58cm from the center of the bottom bracket
to the top of the top tube along the seat tube. My '59' measures 59cm from
the center of the bottom bracket to the tippy top of the seat tube along
Oh, you sold the QB. Just not putting enough miles on it? Now what will I

As for the BMC bikes, I wish they were built in 2cm increments. I'm
slightly between sizes, too. Yeah I know, what's the big deal w/ 1cm,
right, but I'm a fussy one...

William, congrats on the new bike. Yeah, those frames look great.
Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I'm in-between sizes otherwise I
might be considering one of their frames to take the spot vacated by
the sale of my Quickbeam. They seem to be designed well. Looks like

That might just be the bike I'm looking for! I mentioned this in
another thread a couple weeks ago... basically a Taiwanese tigged
Roadeo w/ threadless steerer, 430mm stays... Wish his site listed some
more info, it's kinda' paltry. The monsterX is pretty nice, too!

Not a bad price for that caliber of work either.

Very nice!
It is indeed rare to find a "road" frame that will take 32's or even 33.3
JB's.
I was looking for such a thing myself and the Soma Stanyan seemed like the
best option. But once you're spending $700 you may as well spend $1k, and
then... well, you know how that goes!
