Sorry for the slow response, but thanks for the kind words Tom. It's an FSA Comet crankset / BB with external bearings, which uses an annoyingly rare chainring interface - but I discovered through internet sleuthing that it is the same as a Cannondale spec, which Wolf Tooth makes a spider

Jason, Very nice build. What bb, bb width, and chainring do you have there? Your seat post must be maxed out - is that the 300mm S65? Tom On Monday, January 6, 2020 at 12:27:18 AM UTC-5, Jason Fuller wrote: > > I bought the third-to-last green 45 frameset on December 23, and am > surprised

Not designed for it, but I for one (and others I know of) have run 650b on 26” frames with no real problems, other than higher bb/slightly reduced tire clearance. Even the cheapest Shimano b brakes have plenty of vertical adjustment to make such a thing happen. So, not “authorised” but likely

Thanks for the input everyone! Last question about the Clem. Can I run 650b/27.5 on the 45cm? I already have a bunch of tires and 27.5 is kind of a sweet spot for me. I assume even with 27.5s, I’d have clearance for a 2.0 mob tire. On Sun, Jan 5, 2020 at 9:30 PM Jason Fuller wrote: > John_C

John_C - I highly, highly recommend going with the 45. The 52 is massive, much larger than a 52 has any right being. I am 5'8.5" with s 30.5" inseam and I fit the 45 quite well. It'll be perfect for you. With a Billie / Bosco you'll want a longer stem but it'll overall fit MUCH better in my

John C, You're about my height, maybe a smidge shorter, so the 52 is a definite maybe. I need a bolt-upright style and my 52 H was too stretched out for me with the stock Boscos/12cm stem setup. Whether it would work for you depends a lot on how much forward lean you prefer. -- You

I'm curios about the 52 myself. I'm 5'6 and about a 29" inseam. Thinking of setting up with a Billie or Bosco to bring the reach back. 52 sound about right? On Sunday, January 5, 2020 at 1:37:54 PM UTC-8, Joe Bernard wrote: > > How tall is she? That 52 is a big bike. -- You received this

$750 for the 45s, just so people don't get their receipt and think something went wrong. Which is still a crazy price for a great frame. If you're in the market pay close attention to the current geometry page and ignore the height recs on the Clem pages, the 45cm has more toptube length than

Right, and the 45s are on sale for ***$700*** which is just crazy. The 52s and 59s are $900 apiece, but still such a friggin' bargain, I can't believe they're still available. Tom On Sunday, January 5, 2020 at 2:45:43 PM UTC-5, Philip Williamson wrote: > > Those are really hard to find on
