Iwan Kemp Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Even worse is when I realised it wasn't going to be on time I placed a second order and DHL'ed it. CRC made a mistake and sent it using Parcel Force as well! That parcel hasn't even left the UK yet! http://fieldpriest.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/why-god-why1.jpg (Deon) and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
patches Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 My faith is CRC is dwindling fast! The only reaosn for my last order via them was because ProBikeShop didn't have FiveTen VXi Elements in stock. Otherwise for most other things, I use ProBikeShop. Shipping is pricey, but worth it on a large order. Plus it's here in 2-3days.
hayleyearth Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 You can ride my 650b if I can ride yours (in 6 weeks time)... You should have ordered a M though...to make my ride super comfy. Strangely I was on a L frame again this weekend and it didnt feel toooo big, so I will be able to take your machine for test run, yes???

Should fit... the HDR is 2cm longer on the top tube, and 2mm shorter on reach than your 275... So you should be okay if you shift the saddle forward and down a bit!

So you should be okay if you shift the saddle forward and down a bit! It must have quite a slack seat tube angle. The Ibises seem to be about a size smaller than average, going according to the numbers that count the most (reach and stack) so the large Ibis is actually more like a medium.

Yeah, they run a bit short. That's why, at 179cm, I opt for the Large. Hairy 1
Iwan Kemp Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Should be "spraying" today or tomorrow... Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 You going plastidip on the shock as well?
Iwan Kemp Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 You going plastidip on the shock as well? Yip. Main body of the can Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
Hairy Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Should be "spraying" today or tomorrow... How long did it take you to mask off all the areas?
G00SE Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Should be "spraying" today or tomorrow... I'm a bit confused, maybe I haven't been paying enough attention. Are you going to be spraying over the yellow with Black?If yes, will this not affect the warranty of the frame?
TopFuel Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I'm a bit confused, maybe I haven't been paying enough attention. Are you going to be spraying over the yellow with Black?If yes, will this not affect the warranty of the frame? You can peel PlastiDip off, so maybe it wont?

Are you going to be spraying over the yellow with Black?If yes, will this not affect the warranty of the frame? Nope. It's an application on top of the existing paintwork, and does not affect the paintwork in any way.You can peel PlastiDip off, so maybe it wont? Yep. It's not like he's sanding it down or anything!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Dont you know that shifting the saddle to affect reach is not acceptable... yeah but hayley's like, shorter than Iwan, and I doubt she has a spare 40mm stem she carries in her purse!
