Must admit to still puzzling over this question. It's a custom bike. It fits. So how would you expect it to feel on a long ride??

Silly me - I have these pedals! Titanium. In black.Oh yes... and in a whole range of nice colours too
I deleted my "can you get (pedals) in ti?" post almost as quickly as I posted it, but eagle-eyed Ian caught me out.
i thought that ,so i got Ti cages on my litespeed ,but quickly sent them back and got some slimline carbon ones .... i think it really depends on the designof the bike and cage i suppose
just because it's custom doesn't mean it's going to be a great long distance runner .....all i meant was it looked like a short stem and saddle forward making it a small cockpit when looking the frame size or me being old skool the tall head tube
A bit of a "before and after".... Having been busy buying the parts on eBay (not sure I'd do it that way again though), my first bike build is now complete. Although it's now staying warm and dry in doors as I'm too scared to take it out in this weather just in case it gets splashed

Ti looks great when wet. Quit the excuses and go and ride it.

How do you know I didn't specify I wanted a long distance bike??
I'd really rather answer questions than counter assumptions, you know.
(I don't bite, but this is beginning to make me growl!!!
)Yes, the head tube does look tall compared to a stock geometry bike. Amazon how our eyes and aesthetic sense get trained by what we see most often. (Mine too!)
Yes, you're probably right, but I'll need to put some more air in the tyres for buoyancy and swap the pedals for paddles to get out on the Somerset Levels

I agree some people are touchy about their bikes and what they do on them .....it's sometimes nice to find out more and with the sport being so wide spread and diverse now the norm isn't the norm anymore ...i'll restrain from making passing comments in the future if your in the thread ,as i see your not really wanting to respond to friendly comments
I didn't assume anything and just making visual comments ,as alot of members do when people post photo's ,as well as i was commenting how i like your bike ....
