based on previous posts, my guess is that cfsmtb is 155 cm tall?? Looks
like an appropriate set-up :-)

Also, being of similar stature I prefer the question to be couched
thus... "how TALL are you?". It's not as though I'd measure someone
from six foot DOWN! :-)

(I say six foot cos anything taller than that is just plain wrong!)

Oi! I may be plain and often wrong, but I'm not both! Shorty!

:-)

I can go home now... I've reached my "upset a big person" tally for the
day!!! :-)

Which brings me to another issue... It's interesting that I've probably
been called Shorty more times than I've had hot dinners, but out of
interest, have you ever been called Tally (or is that Talley)?

was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:

Had another twiddle with the usb cable, so here's pics of the newly
powdercoated RED Steed.

The kitchen. The most obvious place to put a frame.

Small but almost perfectly formed.

Posing demurely.

Posing again.

While outside Pellegrini's on Saturday arvo, Rooman mentioned some
smartypants remark about leaving the Steed out in the rain to see if
the frame would grow. Sorry mate, it's a 41cm frame and remaining that
size.

I didn't know you could get kids bike sized bullhorns!

Safely said over the internets!

I don't think I would say that to cfsmtbs face.

You wouldn't need to, you could judge for yourself.

That's very red. Are those spokey-dokes on the front wheel? Me likey lots.

As with most unfinished Projects, the Steed is awaiting further bike
p0rn 'accoutrements' subject to stringent budget restrictions.
Unfortunately the fleeting dalliance with barend shifters and Salsa
cyclo-cross levers hasn't worked out and I will probably commit a
serious crime against nature by utilising flat bar integrated shifters
with bull horns.

And this wasn't a decision taken lightly, as I've also had crack at
several other combinations, including Kelly Take-offs for the original
downtube shifters. Oh well, it's my bike & I'll do want I want.

Yes they are spokey-dokes, every road bike should have them.

The slap down/ slap up issue intrigues me somewhat. The sobering fact
is that you tall(er) folk don't realise how vulerable you actually are.
Case in point, in a previous life, a chap I was going out with was 6'3.
To cut a long story short, he once annoyed me to the extent where a
"pretendy" headbutt was possibly required. That scared the crap out of
him. And another thing, tall folk are the perfect height for the Five
Fingers of Death, otherwise known as a squirrel grip. Quite a handy
tactic in club & pubs when some drunk fkwt won't leave you alone.

Never fear though I've left all of that behind now. And don't short
folk make terrific hill climbers? Oh yes, the Steed has CF forks

Oooh, I don't know that Resound is taller than you

C'mon, a stand-up-straight-against-each-other's-backs competition is
order next Goatage. I just wish I could attend and drink said goat.

I've got an observer coming up in 2 weeks from my old Melbournian
institution. I've asked her to bring up some goat (she's a hotty too.
She's also short and cute), but she's brought up that old "but it's
liquid. I'll be pulled up by airport security for being a terrorist"
issue. Foiled. Again.

Fogive me. I am durnk. I am slow at understanding these things.

I think I have still trumped JonoL at the flying 200. Us
featherweight-got-to-be-careful-not-to-stand-out-in-the-wind folk have
definitely got something in the acceleration stakes. Not that JonoL
is exactly heavyweight.

I still get the email reminder every couple of weeks on the yahoo
group, and keep thinking "bugger". That and the sat morning Belgian
Beer Cafe rides that I never did get a chance to participate in.

Damn one track mind. Beer. Beer. Beer. Leffe Brune. Beer.
Trappist Beers. Beer. Beer. Mmmmm.
