. It rides awesome. They need to update the geo on their website. The stays are 15.5" slammed, not 15.75" like listed. 68mm shell too (Spanish bearings) This is a good thing:
To anyone who has one of these: What do you use for a chain tug? The drop ends have a angled cut that won't allow a tensioner to butt up against it properly.

Check out my new 4x/slalom/dj bike. The frame weighs only 3.9 lbs. I dont know what the rest of the bike weighs in at. It rides amazing. Put the fox terralogic on the front so that it is locked out coming out of the gate. When I start to hit bumps the suspension kicks in. Behind it is my Enduro SL Expert.
Ill play.

ah word. try the granny gear tensioner thing? looks goofy but i guess it works pretty well.
or just pull your wheel back and crank the hell out of it or put something b/w the axle and the space in front of it. should work

Here is my updated MOB pic. Sweet bike that could really use someone special to show her a good time (nod nod wink wink, ahem, PM me).
Hey... forgot about this thread.
is that a black betty?
hows the fork?
yeah what frame is that? specs please
black betty.
so good
so good
Bammm!
Devotion, you got all the gumby gold and girly girls!
You got some slick wheels, between that fine black betty and that bangin' campillo! Props on the flavor bro, I like it.
...and yeah, shoot us a taste on some of the specs on that thing.
I picked up some of those simple slammers a little while ago too... great idea, but still a pain in the jazz. I must have measured wrong because I still end up with a hair of slack I don't like. I guess it'll keep your axle from moving too much though. Too expensive to just go and buy a bunch of the sizes and trial and error it!

click the link in my sig. for more info on it. Had it done right around the new year...
Now it's actually a production feature on the new Sunday Schwartz frame... but still pretty obscure among the big-wheelers.
Damn, I didn't even realize eastern made a mtb frame besides the dj4. How is it any different?
i emailed Eastern for some info and this is the reply:
they dont know anything about a frame that is already out in some places... hmm..
