I think people should stop saying it is too long as there are loads of short bikes and frames now and hardly any long bikes, the only long bikes are old as well like old zoos and zona zips. Most other longs bikes are only like 1025mm now.
You could quite easily get it longer than 1045mm by pulling the wheel back and changing forks,
Which brings up a question: What forks was the geo measured with?
If I were to buy a frame from biketrial seller for £80/90gbp and it were sent as a gift I wouldn't have to pay tax right? But if I were how would I be charged would it be vat as in 17.5% or something?
