Hey all,
So as some may know, I built up my first frame around June of last year. Since then, I've had a chance to ride it hard and find what I do and don't like about it. Given the fact that riding season is here (for most people), I decided that now would be a good time to crank out version number two!
Now for the differences - I decided I wanted to run an eccentric BB w/ vert. dropouts for a bombproof singlespeed setup. I also decided to shortened the stays to
15.375" and lengthen the TT to 23.5". Some may like to take note of the "new" hotrods... For those who lived through the retro days of mtn. biking, you may recognize these cranks. We updated them to be compatible with shimano outboard bearings and overall, I must say they are some of the sickest cranks I've seen or ridden! I wanted to add some "sex" to the frame, so I decided to add a cutout in the seattube and driveside chainstay to allow for clearances, and gave it some new color!! Beyond that, I'll let the pictures do the talking
Frame Geo
HT Angle: 69
ST Angle: 71
TT Length: 23.5"
CS Length: 15.375" w/ BB @ shortest point
BB Height: 13"
The Build
Fork: 426 Pike w/ xfirm spring
Cranks: Hot Rods
BB: Shimano XT outboards
Stem: FIT DLD flipped
Bars: A-Lab LTD Race
R Hub: KHE Geisha 11t
F Hub: DMR Revolver

I took her to rays for her maiden voyage (mind you, it was mine as well), and I had a BLAST!! Only thing I see in the future is a front brake and possibly taller bars...
We are currently taking small orders for frames for anyone who may be interested. If so, drop me a PM or email at adg14 @ scasd.org.
If you have an questions, ask away!!
Thanks,
Aaron
