Had to wait a wee while for this frame as they're only made in limited numbers by Chris DeKerf and the man can be a bit busy. Took me a while to get it built as well with the reason being that i had a broken arm so my riding was curtailed ever so slightly. Only had it out for a short shakedown ride around the park to check out the gears and brakes etc. All went well. I'm a bit of a "If it aint broke, dont fix it" kind of guy hence the 9-speed drive train. First impressions cant really be gathered at present but i'm impressed by how well the power goes to the back wheel along those big chunky chainstays. Overall im very happy with it. My very retro style saddle looks/is a bit gubbed and ripped but it fits my hoop so im going to recover it and it will look like new again 😀

Nice - I've always liked Chromag.
Looking at your photostream you certainly like compact frames and a long seatpost don't you!

lol comes from a long term love of Kona frames and their geometry. Generally though the seats on my modern bikes are nearly if not level with the bars. Dodgy camera angle might not help either. no idea how the pictures came out small but thanks Bregante for zooming it out for me a bit
