My (17”) P7 is finally giving grief with slipping driveside needing upgraded dropouts, also B/B fix and new powder coat required v soon . Not sure whether to start fixing it up or transfer parts to an older project. Now...I have a mothballed/never-built (19”) Dialled PA frame, bought possibly in haste as it was a 19” C-T and I’m normally 17”/18”C-T. Now that would have been fine back when my XC hardtail was also road/commuting but now it’s just for play/fitness.
Aside from the purple prince jokes... would the longer toptube/higher standover PA be a dealbreaker for medium 5’ 10” 31 inside, or could be a half-decent donor frame until I get the P7 recoated? WWSTWD?
Dialled Bikes have more bad ass decals (I ride an Alpine..it's bad ass)
I get on much better with my 17" PA than I did with the 19" one I had and I'm a bit taller than thee
^ Thnks Dickyboy. Yeah thought as much, so time to face the music. (Stealth ad goes here)
Dialled Bikes have more badass decals
Oooo, anecdote/tenuous claim to non-fame! early 2ks yours truly was asked by an old friend to ‘come up with a logo idea’ for a friend of his who wanted something for his new business named ‘Dialled Bikes’. Being an old metalhead I came up with a lower case gothic/metal/old English font arrangement - ie something 99% what we see on the frames. Handed a print of my logo over to said friend and never heard back, before moving out of the country. I like to think it worked out in my absence. Still have the file somewhere on an old SATA. Except on the original, the ‘d’ had a curly satanic tail IIRC 🤘🏼
Nice claim to fame...I do like that font!
If you want a 3d printed head tube badge for your Dialled (or P7) to make it *even* more bad ass send me a message :o)
Thnks Swirly, when I finally repaint the P7 I’ll deffo look at that option 🤘🏼🤘🏼
PS - The Purpleness now in classifieds for someone to make it proud/dangle awesome bits...
If I wasn’t a short arsed 5’8” I’d be tempted to get it as a partner for my purple Alpine.
Swirly do you make headtube badges for all and sundry or just a select few? I’d be interested in one for my Alpine.
Likewise I could be tempted by a headtube badge for my PA.
I can create anything within reason but started with Dialled ones as I ride one. I'll get my ar5e in gear and post some pics.

Et Voila a custom printed Dialled Bikes headtube badge. Hopefully the picture works(!)
