Charge Cooker, in XL and Tange Infinity Steel . I brought the rigid bike complete and put my own parts on it.

Tis good Mrs drinker. Looks like a sensible size. How tall are you young man?

6ft 3 and a bit. Feels very upright compared to what I'm used too but not in a bad way.

You need a wheel that fits that front fork.

Why the seat so high?

Could you recommend me one please? I spoke with Charge Bikes about using a 29er wheel for the 29er fork and they said it would be fine but if you could help me out and tell me what I should be using that would be great, thanks.

Why the seat so high?

Really, you actually want an answer to this?

It looks in proportion to me, but Charge do insist on putting very long suspension corrected forks on (490mm v standard 470?). In my experience shorter rigid forks work better.

Looking forward to getting out on it in the morning, I'll keep the forks on unless they're awful but so far they felt fine. I have my eye on some sids so may change anyway. But for now I'm happy.
