scissors dont come in large, which is weird. i owned a medium scissor for a bit and it was fine (im 6'3). id say because you were 6'6 dont buy a 26" wheel freestyle bike. hit me up if you need anymore advice, ive built many a fgfs bike in my time..

Was looking at a charge scissor actually.. apparently I'm 6'6 now so I'm right in thinking I'd need a large frame at least? Only medium and small on wiggle… Think I've made my mind up anyway, been reading a few forums and sites etc and I'm definitely down for building my own instead of buying one off the shelf, especially as I'm being a bit specific in what I want. Cheers for your help though I'll shoot you a pm once I make a proper start if that's cool.

Those rsys slrs are great wheel. Really stiff and spin up well. Great for climbing. Only problem is the extremely in aero tubular spokes. Can feel the drag when your pushing or descending into a headwind. Might sell them when the summers over and buy some enve 3.4's as they've got a great warranty and race crash replacement scheme.
And the tyres are a bitch to line up! If you do on one side the other is out.
BMC look super stealthy.

i liked mine as well when i had them, they initially eat brake pads though and tint them with green, the braking is great though, the black brake surface is and when viewed up close its nice, you can see the engineering
however, ive now got Enve 45's and ive not noticed any reduction in brake quality, when used with the Enve pads

a bargain to let me know
I know there are a few fixed riders on here and I am looking to get some further feedback (excuse the plug) on a concept I’ve developed as part of my final year project and are now looking to produce commercially. The Dual Tool - a fixed gear specific multi purpose tool.
The tool is comprised primarily of case hardened steel profiles, the outer profile contains the least commonly used functionality, of which includes: chain whip (concealed in a slot when out of use and secured magnetically), pedal spanner and lock ring tool. The inner profile contains the most commonly used functionality, of which includes: 15mm box wrench spanner, universal spoke key and magnetically attaching 1/4″ hex bits (4mm, 5mm, 6mm and 8mm allen and phillips head screwdriver). In addition to this dual purpose tyre levers can be attached to either profile as handles. A secondary configuration can also be assembled that provides a more condensed and transportable alternative ideal for when out riding.

Time to upgrade from my singlespeed, as I want to start doing longer rides at the weekends, and I only have room for one bike.
Budget of around £1200, what's a good option? I like the look of steel frames (thinner tubing). I commute about 15 miles every day, all year round. Leaning towards a Genesis Equilibrium 20 - any other suggestions?

edit- in looking at their site they've got a now discontinued salsa casseroll that could be an option on the cheaper end - http://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/m14b0s21p8311/SALSA_Casseroll_Complete
