What would you choose?

I like the slightly mellower head angles and I am 6'1"...
I have read (I think Byke mentioned this..) that, the RIP and a 19"TT Psychonnecta have near identical wheelbases. I loved my Psychonnecta, but it had a very short lifespan.

Or should I just shell out bigger bucks and get a custom Quamen like Tranquilized's G6..(?) (19.1TT, 73.5HA)

I really want to run a macneil post/seat, and I understand that Bram rides his RIP with a macneil, but it looks to not even go past the top tube! :-o.... I think that could be very detrimental to the frame's life.



What would you get... price-wise and reliabilty factors considering a 6'1" height?

Thanx heaps for constructive input dudes!  :mrgreen:

yeah your right about the seat post thing, ive seen a number of frames now basically, fit for the trash becuse of this.
what happened to it, it's only like 2-3 months old right?
what happened to the ti solo replacement wouldn't that be next in line? hehe.
personally the aquaduct doesn't look bad, but that's me.

actually thats why i didnt want the frame any lower..
the way it is now works fine..
the seatpost goes to half way the tt... thats the max i would say you can safely go..
but i have see that ed had his macneil post only 1 inch in the frame..
so it didnt even reach the tt...
he told me he never had troubles with that.. and he does backwheel stuff so...
i would say.. it will work with both frames... fine..
choose 4 urself..

personally I'd get the RIP frame, solely based on the fact that there are only supposedly 100 made... so you might as well get that because 6 months to 3 years from now you'll want a new frame, you'll still be able to get and ride an aqueduct then, I doubt it will be easy to find a RIP 2 years from now. stickers under the paint is a fucktard of an idea anyway...

I know, its fair to say. Ofcourse im gona say the SickChild.

But just letting ya'll know its more limited than the RIP cause a lot of people dont know just how few of them there are.

haha fuck i'd  say your less biased than i would expect anyone in your situation to be, you didn't state anything other than an unknown fact that was bought up relating to the other, it's amazing to see someone actually that unbiased in this case, that's awsome to see that. 8-)

Well aren't I a mis-informed ass :-D, both frames look amazing, but I'm gonna switch my vote the aquaduct then.it looks a lot stronger and has better colours with no stickers under the paint. Which makes me lead to a question, why have stcikers under the paint? Bram Verhallen is an incredible rider but that doesn't mean I'd want his name permanently stuck on my bike till I repainted it.
