Vlad,
This also includes the fork, right?

Yes, frame, fork and headset. Someone asked about tire clearance. I run 25mm Mavic Pro Race 2 tires with plenty of room to spare.

[Waldo]

Bump. And listing edited to include head tube length.

Not really important, but just wondering, why are you selling such a beautiful frame? I'm sure it rides as great as it looks...

[Waldo]

It does ride marvellously. Well, what happened was I went to arch cleats after I had the bike. I had to lower the saddle quite a bit. So much that the bike just looks wrong.

[Waldo]

I had several questions about top tube length. Having measured again, I came up with 57.2 actual. There's a bit of a slope. I tried to measure horizontally and came up with ~58.0 to 58.2 center to center.

Tell us about the arch cleat set up and why you went that route. Maybe you could start another thread so as not to hijack your bike sale.
Thanks and good luck with the Kirk sale.
