So good to see a steep seat angle and getting steeper for us tall blokes. I've got a custom Ti frame with a 74 degree seat angle and its great for me (6'3" tall) and climbs brilliantly.

Doing 31.6mm in steel is a bit tough right now. Though we are looking at it for future releases. Alternative is 29.8 post diameter which isn't really much use for anything. Should be ready early late May. 1.5in headset builds a really strong stiff front end which also lets you do fun things with internal headsets to adjust ride height. And of course you can use a 1.125in fork in there with an adaptor headset. Ludicrously expensive to do in Ti, Very heavy in steel. So just on the alloy frame.

How long are we looking at for that release Brant? Will steel carry the 31.6 seatpost too? £250 Steeley? How long are we looking at for that release Brant? Will steel carry the 31.6 seatpost too?

I normally spec 16.9, not 16.5, so it's quite funny. But it works really well. Too short combined with a short front and slack seat angle means the bike loops out on climbs. This is spot on. Jim - so with a 160 on this, it will be a touch slacker. Seat angle will be fine enough. That's what affects climbing stability.
