Having tried just about every 26" street hardtail frame out there, I am looking at making a new type of bmxmtb. So here are the ideas I am having:
A) Higher Bottom Bracket Height- not only would this give you the ability to shorten the chainstay to 14.25 with ease, it would make the maneuverability of the bike much better. Ideal height would be around 350mm with a 465mm fork.
B) Super short seat tube- Less weight, way better clearance for tricks, and a tighter, stiffer frame. Ideal seat tube length: 230mm with a seatube angle of 73degrees so you could still slam the seat.
C) Spanish Bottom bracket to insure the shortest possible chainstays.
Here is a half-ass mock up on cad of this idea.
Discuss. Ridicule. Elaborate.
