Post-it Note Bike

So called as when I got the frame a mate asked what colour it was, tried to explain it and then found a Post-it note. The colour is pretty much the same but looks great. Started as a bike where I took the equipment off my old bike, now I have almost changed everything. Going to change the wheels and get some white rims, not quite decided on the wheel set but Superstar sets are looking good, after that I might replace the Sram X5 shifters for some X9's (A bike build never seems to be done) Just fitted a Marzocchi 44 TST2 air fork which as transformed the front end from the short time it had a Suntour fork on that had reached the end of it's life. Only my second bike after a Carrera which got me started, the difference between that BSO and this is incredible although I know I am no where near good enough to get the most out of the bike. The bike has been built to a budget but it still keeps up with my mates on bikes costing a lot more and the frame has made a few of them jealous. Just cleaned the bike so need to get some mud back on it, probably round Cannock again then. I got the second to last 18" in this colour which is now not listed on the site, thought I would go for the orange but I love the understated nature of the decals and the yellow looks fantastic, especially against all those white bikes everyone seems to have. I now feel lucky to get the yellow.

Hi there, nice looking bike. How does the 18" fit you and just how tall are you. I am 1.78m tall (5.84 ft) and seem to fit in the middle of the medium and small spectrums and the frame I want to buy is on-line so no testing for me.
