After months of sitting on the fence dreaming, saving all his fat commision cheques and debating what finish to go for - will Matt order his Enigma today?

Or, is his Enigma dream being retired to cupboard of false hope? (along with Ezy's decals and Bhimas race victory)

    It's done !!!

    Esprit, British made version, bead blasted with mirror polished rear stays and decals. Columbus Minimal forks, Chris King headset and BB.

    The rest of the shiny bits, including full Ultegra groupset, carbon Ultegra pedals, Rotor Agilis cranks, Deda carbon seat post and stem and 3t Ergonova Team bars, and the big hole it all left in my wallet, are sitting in a box in my study (hiding from the Mrs ).

    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns

    MattC59,

    that seems like an awfully big frame for a saddle height as indicated. Is there a reason for that? (Context: I use a 56 (CtC) frame and have a saddle height, as per the measurement on the diagram, of 773mm).

    It's a classic shaped frame, as opposed to a compact frame, so the top tube is horizontal. My Trek is a 58cm frame, but has a sloping top tube. The frame physical frame sizes are pretty much the same, but the CtC measurement is different.
