Thank you for your words! yes, those first cinelli frame were "road like" somehow, and as you said i took inspiration by Jan Heine 26er. Looking at the 8001 and those monster roadie main difference is the bb height, of course...
I was very concerned about what type of brifters to use, after many evening hours spent comparing pull ratio and shimagnolo theory ended up with a complete vintage handlebar with 9v xenon, and works perfectly front and rear, so experiment successful. Found out a frog stem with a shim and changed seatpost with a black one only for look. WTB vigo is my favourite seat, since i come from mtb. When i bought this bike front rim was not original, found in the italian ebay a real nos fir ms29d, incredible finding.

Of course the choice of the rubber is inspired form rene herse, too. Is as much similar to rat trap pass at a human price i was able to think of. I really like the look of them, too, and they seem to have quite a low rolling resistance. Wheels are very heavy, by the way. (and wide).

Speaking about the dimension, continental is pretty unpredictable, i had rubber king 26X2.4 that were huge, and baron 26x2.4 that are smaller than trail king 2.2. Those speed king seems to be real 2.2, at least in mtb terms, i think they are more or less the dimensions of rat trap pass 2.3. Previously i tried to put maxxis ikon 2.35 and they didn't fit, so i was using ikon 2.35 front and 2.2 rear. Ikon 2.2 was good, and more or less on par with the speed king.
