Nice! But that is an obscene amount of saddle-to-bar drop. I don know your physiology but it may be that you're on a too-small frame.

Bike looks awesome. But I agree with the others, it just doesn't look like it could ever be comfortable!

a drop of 16 cm is not uncomfy to me, my fixie is 19cm... the angle between my upperarm and torso are good. I have long legs, seatheight of 85cm..with an inseam of 96cm.... and long arms but smaller torso.Total bodylenght 1m89 .When I should take a bigger frame the toptube also gets longer and that' s the reason why I prefer a smaller bike. same story for my mtb, the frame gets too long and handling controls getting worse. this bike has a slooping of 7 cm, so height is actualy 60cm . In theory they recomment a frame 64cm ....

Gorgeous! I can see that if you had long appendages, but a short torso that this fit would work.

thanks for all the pos feedback .... I'm still waiting for the ciamillo brakes ( GLS micro's )..... for now there are planet x cnc brakecalipers on it .

I've also looked to replace these wheels into enve's 3.4 but it's pitty to brake on those expensive rims ... a better way to safe the enve rims is a bike with disc brakes.

In side view the drop looks really huge. Especially for an inseam of 85cm :noidea:

inseam is said to be 96, saddle height 85

what is the rider's overall height ?

after all, we are here also to learn something...
