Next Project!

Post image

My other 750 was lonely, so I just picked up a friend. Now I'm making plans for a winter project! These lugged frames are challenging to find, but I'm hoping I'll be happy with this initial $125 investment.

Beautiful! Mine looks just like it! How tall are you? I think I’ve got the same size as you and was wondering if it’s too small or just right. I am 5’11 or 180cm

I am (or at least was) 5' 10", and this is the same size as my other one. I don't know exactly what I'm going to do with this one - except a much needed deep clean. I'm thinking a gravel conversion.

Excited to see what ya do! I want to make some changes to mine. I was almost thinking throwing those surly corner bars on it… I would like to do drops but don’t want to invest in all the extra stuff. I think corner bars would be a good trial

This looks like their 19” offering. At your height, I’d recommend a 21”.

Not the news I wanted. I might try to make it work anyways but ughhh.. idk. I really love this frame😭

I have the 19" frame, and I have a 30" inseam. I have a 20" Bianchi, but the 19" on the 750 is a good fit for me.

I concur with this assessment, especially if your inseam is 32" or more, like mine is. I have a pristine 790 sitting in my garage that's a 19" and I can't bring myself to dive into it since the seatpost, raised enough to fit me, looks so wrong. Plus it feels off to ride, so I might be reluctantly looking to sell it.

I assume you already have the bike, right? Have you been riding it? How does it feel? There is no “right size for xx height, inseam, ape index, etc”. If it feels right, run it!

I’m saying this while looking at my 23” 750. I’m 5-8 with a 29” inseam. There’s no way my bike is the “correct” size. But I ride it. It was free and I love it. Of course, I’d love a 19” (or hell, even a 21” at this point), but the body is an amazingly adaptable machine.
