Hi all, I have a 65cm c-t frame on order with Mercian Cycles. I wanted it built to the same geometry as a Rivendell Atlantis, which is almost the same as Heron touring frame. I just received a note from Grant at Mercian that says the following:
One of our frame builders has just started to check your frame on his frame jig and found that the bottom bracket height has come out at 101/8" this is 1/2" less than we would normally build such a frame. Are you sure this height or bottom bracket drop is correct? Do you want us to proceed with the build?
I know Rivendell favors a lower bottom bracket height, is this something Mercian is just not used to or is there something else out of whack?
Any and all suggestions would be really welcome.
Thanks!
