I did not think I would get on with a 18.2 frame, because it's so short but after my first ride on it I must say I loved it and got used to it right away, it felt good on front and back wheels.
I'm not sure about the weight of it, but I'm not fussed about it anyway, let's just say it feels just about right, I've had St Martin frames in all sizes from 19.3 to 18.2 and I could ride all of them with no worries, this one feels like a toy and after a long winter it's good to go out and play again.
Big thanks to the guys at St Martin, Edwardes Ltd and TGM, and not to forget FLATMATTERS.

hey jay, any close up pics of the stem?, esp the back of it from front looks really clean, similar to bizhouse at the back, the ride looks uber clean, are you running those tricked out tubes, so you dont get valve troubles?
I like the grips.
