Evil sovereign geometry

Depends on your fork. You should be able to find Evil's own geometry charts posted on this site from when the frame first came out (2004, IIRC; might try searching for posts by me or Binary Visions...), and the current geo charts for the new line on the Evil site, if they've changed anything..

Bam.

What kind of seatpost/size are y'all running on the old Sovereign? I'm building one right now and it's almost impossible to find the right size.

I think I'm running a 31.6.
why? is it supposed to be a weird funky size?

Drkenan, is it possible that your bike is missing the required seatpost insert/shim?

I think that's very much a possibility.

It's a silvery alloy shim; looks pretty much just like other seatpost size adapters from Kalloy or whatever. No idea on the dimensions.

Ok - actually I do have it. For some reason I was having a hard time getting one seatpost to fit, but I got another one to work. Think I might build it up today.

Aaahhh...didn't get around to it today. But pics will be coming ASAP!

09 frame
05 Marz AM SL etc etc etc

Love this damn thing, I have it set up as single speed right now 36/18. Will get a pic once it gets over here to Germany...

Its plenty slack with a 150 fork, on most trails back home I feel like I am going faster on the Evil than I ever did on my DHR or 7point.

Mine's an oldschool street-sign green from the first run; been through many incarnations and is now a rigid singlespeed. The locals approve. And we all know locals rule.
