Always rad to garage built steel frames, but that's a pretty "husky" frame at 11 lbs (with no shock I presume). Wonder how it compares to a Dark Owl (@troy )? Plus, it has a Kenda tire on the back, so it doesn't appear to be ridabru :thumb:

That's great... more power to him. Wonder what he's doing for pivots.

DH01 weights 12.1 lbs w/o shock but that is with massively overbuilt steel axles (24mm x 3mm wall) and headtube inserts that weighted a ton, just those 2 things were around 2lbs. Dark Owl DH02 - round tubed, production model weights ~9lbs w/o shock.

EDIT:
That is not a 1:1 demo copy, as it has no concentric bb pivot on the chainstay. Rear end looks flexy as fuk.

I'm impressed. He probably made it using an arc welder and that shit you see in the picture.

Yeah, the guy said he had a tough time finding the right bearings and opted to use a more traditional approach..
What does that even mean? Mini weenie-dogs wrapped in bacon reside in the pivots?
