Feedback and photos.

Not sure what it will be like for a chunk like myself but going to fit Niner forks to it and run 1x9 to begin with then ss in the future.

What size BB is it as I have raceface atlas's to fit.

I guess I need a 19" frame size @ 6ft tall?

Thanks in advanced.

I wrote some views on it here [url= http://projectenduranceracer.com/reviews/planet-x-dirty-harry-first-impressions/ ]projectenduranceracer.com[/url] a while back. You'll find a few pics on there too.

Still using it as my main "go exploring" bike, and race bike. Love it to bits. Other observations over the last few months:
-It isn't the stiffest rear end. Not really a problem, especially in long races. It certainly is comfortable. But, it doesn't have that out-and-out xc race bike "pop" as you stamp on the pedals.
-I bought as a full bike. The FSA headset is useless. 2 x top and bottom bearings since Feb.

I'm bang on 6ft, large fits perfectly. Started with a 60mm stem on. Now have an 80mm fitted.

Sorry - not sure about BB size. Spec should be on the PX website tho?

Cheers folk, Iirc everything but BB size is stated but again unsure.

Guess a run of the mill Hope tapered headset will fit..?

Will check that link out asap before pushing the button on finding a 2nd or stump up for new.

It's either this or winning the lotto & seek a Air 9 C which is exactly the same as dirty harry that I can see...?

TopJob! 😀

Be careful of sweeping statements. With carbon, probably more than any other frame material, it's what you can't see that can make all the difference to how the frame actually performs, rather than what you can... Not trying to say anything about Dirty Harry per se (though I know someone who had one, and hated it, but that was just one opinion), more trying to emphasise it's probably worth test riding your potential purchases before hand to work out which is best for you.
