Cheers lads!

I am also into gravel bikes. My road bike is collecting dust.

This is my Standert Kettensäge (Chainsaw) it’s made from Scandium, the little brother from Titanium.
650b wheels with 48mm Rene Herse tyres. Tyres are made in Japan of course!

@JCMx800 that’s cool. Never heard of Scandium… love the RH knobbies

@RobeOfTheMagi

hey dude, i’ve had a couple surly stragglers.
i’m 185cm and ride a 56cm, so i think a 54cm would be best for you based on this info.

you’re correct in that surly’s tend to run large but more specifically the effective top tube is long. so being long in the legs and short in the torso is not gonna help you.

@rewseph Cheers mate! 54 is exactly what I thought as well! I usually ride 56cm top tube frames.

@RobeOfTheMagi cheers! happy to help

Just added another thing to the list of things I didn't know existed yesterday and must have tomorrow:

Silca SuperPista Ultimate Hiro Edition

That thing is a piece of functional art.

Just look at this review: https://pezcyclingnews.com/technspec/silca-superpista-ultimate-pump-review/
