Yep!!..2" on a small RIb will look Pants,be overkill and add useless weight to the Transum....a 1-1/2" wins out and you'll Save a nice few quid too....incidentally a fair proportion of the price of an A-frame is in the polishing process after production(which is long and labour intensive) if you (like me) prefer a powder coated finish...its another way of saving on the cost

Hang on a minuet...

Are the ones in the photos of a 1.5" or 2" frame??

I though the one that nick had made which others had used were all in 2"?

Looking at Chris Caton's photo and then compare it with mine it looks like CC's is 1.5" to my 2 "

I could be wrong though.

although it goes against the grain, I'd have to agree with you Steve, 35mm sounds about right to me
