Anyone got one?
Looks like a good steel option road bike for sensible money?
Any comment on sizing and tow over lap?
I’m 6”1” and appear to be between a L/XL.
Loving the pink option ;o)
Cheers
Tim

+1 same. Pondering whether worth me swapping the parts from my carbon road bike. I know it's not "worth it" as my road nbike is more than sufficient for my needs, but that is a lovely frame!

I thought I resurrect this thread, in case someone has bought one in the interim. The OP perhaps?

The Stroma looks like a decent alternative to Fairlights and Masons. Anyone care to share their experiences?

Currently building up a large pink clay frameset to replace a carbon disc all road bike and a steel rim brake bike into one all-rounder.

A quality finish as usual from Brother, and nice design details. It might be a little less fancy than other similar frames but seems good value.

Will report back on toe overlap and the first ride soon (plus pics 😄)...

I did. It was lovely and neutral to ride. Had a slight issue with toe overlap when using guards but that likely not helped by my big feet and using fatter road tyres. I solved it but only by a mm or so. Very pretty frame.

It’s gone to a new home as an Olsen Ti frame appeared and it ticked more boxes for me (SS and gears)
