Holy spacer stack Batman! doesnt it feel a bit like a hybrid to ride?

Rybes

dunno, whats a hybrid ?

tom_howard

A commuter/shopping type bike. It looks like you would be sat very upright with that set up? How does it ride on climbs or over the rough stuff?

Rybes

ah right one of those. it works well over rough stuff and climbs seem ok. but then ive only ever owned this bike so i dont have nothin to compare it too. i never used to have those spacers on the front but i broke my wrist a few years ago and that was the only way i could get around the pain, only other way was another frame but im skint at the mo so thatll have to do. never used to cause me any probs till my wrist broke. until i put that riser on and a pair of bg comfy grips i used to get wrist pain hand numbness and me whole left arm would die on me.
ive since been told i should have a 20 inch frame but when i bought it small frames were the way to go at the time in canada, either that or i was told a load of horse droppins so they could shift it

allthegearnoidea

dood! you need a bigger frame!!!!
that stack height is mental! if your a 36" legger then youve gotta be 6ft4" ish?? thats close to 22" frame area????
must be very chuckable though like that! small nimble frame!!

Rybes

6 foot 2 mate. lonmg legs and a short back. i look like some kinda orangatang throw back ya right tho, it is chuckable
