All-City Big Block #2

Temporary replacement for my last work bike, which finally cracked for good on the driveside chainstay, right next to the repair weld from the first time it cracked (no way, right?!) Always loved this color, but unfortunately I kinda hate the way the 58cm frame feels. This one will be sold in the next couple weeks and I'll be back on a 55cm Big Block. Sorry I'm not sorry for the shitty cell phone pics.

How is it? How does it ride? and what's the tire clearance on this thing? I saw a frameset for sale for $250. Considering buying one.

Didn't like this one because it was too big. Check the comments on my other two Big Blocks though, that should answer most of your questions.

ah the good color goes away. Dude who owns mine moved into my house temporarily and it pains me to see it sit there unridden covered in stickers

Just a small measure of protection in case I accidentally bump the valve with my u-lock when I'm busy and in a rush locking up.
