Those bars seem to be a waste on those that frame.

If you get those, you can borrow my belt for a pedal strap. As an extra bonus...it's leather.

I realised one of my frames was 65cm c-c seat tube the other week. It doesn't look outrageously bigger than my other 63cm c-t frames though as I think the BB is lower and the top tube is slightly sloping down, nowhere near as much as that KHS though. It's a fun looking frame though sadly I can't buy any more bike things for a while :(

that bike is f-f-f-fffffugly.

i'm as much a fan of the sherbert orange KHSes as the next guy, but holy god, stretched out like that it's just heinous.

agreed, to a point. it's still waaay too tall for that headtube.

Man, that is sweet...dang, I have a 35" inseam, too, so size isn't a problem...quite the conundrum. What is that formula for how many bikes a cyclist should have? Think it goes something like "the correct number if bikes equals "X" + 1 where "X" equals the number of bikes presently owned"

My present thinking is this: Since I know a lot of people with 27 speed bikes then I'm well within my rights to have 27 speeds as well. Even if that means that I have 27 one speed bikes. My wife gives me a funny look and hides the credit card when ever I say that, I wonder why?

The only formula I know of is that you think you have enough, and then you see........
You understand.

I've been giving some thought to saving up and buying something really nice but I already have 3 bicycles in my apartment. Where will it end?

nope. it doesn't. i have five complete bikes right now, one project frame that i've been sitting on for the last few months, and i'm considering getting yet another bike at the end of this summer or beginning of next summer.
