Looong time no postee but looking at a frame to replace my Big Block 58 because it's just that bit too big and tangling it in my jewels ain't my idea o' fun. That and just feeling that bit too topply-heavy. Last ride was a (legit street trash find) Reminton 54 that was just that bit too small/tight/feet hitting front wheel. 55 seemed too close to 54 so yeah I kinda blew it and went straight to 58...live and learn how to measure yourself for a ride eh. So, long story getting longer I'm after a swap for the Big Block and haviing drooled over some Leader stylings for a while I'm currently tossing up between a 55 Heritage and a 56 Renovatio. I have some nice stuff to go with whatever I get, Mavic Ellipse, White Industries, Paul etc and this being Japan I need to hang brakes on there too to avoid das law as well as simply want them having had my share of major ambulance ride/rehab. Other than cash, anything duh-yes-of-course-I-forgot I should know about diffs between the 2? I am leaning toward the Reno I got to say, a perdy perdy bike I think and I'm guessing able to take a fair beating as well.
Gracias.
