I've gotten some offers but I think I'll be keeping the jackson frame I bought at the cirque auction and trying to make it work for me. Like I said before its a bit on the small side. I feel that I've got the seat post so high that it forces me to lean over too much. My question is, will getting a taller nitto stem take care of this? I just picked up some 165 length avocet cranks. I'm thinking that if I use smaller cranks I won't have to raise the seat post as high. Am I right or is the 5mm difference so negligable I shouldn't even bother with them?

there's just something about that frame, it's very englis, and well I love english bikes. The brits just seem to do some things right. Bikes and rock as two examples. After all The Who was the greatest rock band of all time. I mean Tommy has that refined feeling of a hetchins, Quadrophenia has the glorious attainability for the everyman of a raleigh pro, and Face Dances has the odd curiousity of a lambert. I won't mention It's Hard because it may be off topic. Just kidding.

Long live the High Numbers!
