Post by ton »

like the look of the stooge bikes. but are they really suitable for all sizes?
would a 6ft 4'' bloke get away with one.

Possibly, but it might be a bit of a stretch. Layback post and perhaps a 100mm stem.

If you're ever up Edinburgh way you're welcome to try my steel or Ti for size.

They are damn good bikes though.

Agree with all the above. Likely to be too small but an amazingly versatile and capable bike for something so simple.

The seat tube is only 18" long. If thats C-T I'd be surprised if you'd get a seatpost long enough?

Given that ton has been known to spend a penny or two on a bike, it's worth considering that the Ti may be customised in some ways as they're built to order. Call Andy though and chat it through with him.
