what a worthwhile thread.

would you like to talk about? the fact that neither of these bikes is drilled for brakes??? :crash:

the amount of plain stupid negativity is really high in here these days.

big bikes for tall people?? why the f not?

oh and i really like the second bike as well.

if anyone feels like being nice and has some scoop on a roadbike/frame of this size let me know!
