Maybe I'll post a check when my new brakes get here. Hmm. Has anyone seen the new Cardinal frames?

That seems like it would be way to long. I'm about 5'7" or 5'8" and my race frame is 20.5" and it's perfect.

That would probably be alright, depends on the geometry of the rest of the bike too.

I have a 20.5" it is perfect for me personally, might be my set up because it feels like a 21" kinda.

I looked on Dan's, they only make a 21" now. Maybe that's all they carry though. Post a picture, I don't feel like digging through all the pages.

Looks sick. Did you build custom wheels or are they stock? Those rims are more than like any other kind except 7Ka's.

I changed out some parts
New Sunday 28 wide bars in silver
Put the Shadow interlock 2 back on after I broke it again
I had the local sign shop make me some new stickers in black.
I like the new bars since my dirty harry's were only 26 inch wide.

I like the cable hanger they give you with the evo
Better than the plated ones other companies give.

It's so much easier to work with and it's so much better looking.

Edit: Here's a much better picture.
