    Anyone have a Butt?

    Thanks for the replies.... but still no one with an actual bike. It would be nice if I still lived the greater Boston area, then I could meet up with one of those riders or drive up to Ted's place. That was sometime ago, though, now I am stuck in the S.E. US and the small Monkey looks lika a...

    Anyone have a Butt?

    Used the search feature.... only the original thread came up. Anybody go out and have a Ted W. Monkey Butt made? I am interested in this frame, but other than all the furor when the frame came first around, I have not seen or read much. Tried the search function and the Google, only...

    Origin 8 Scout 29

    I've seen the Origin 8 homepage. I am asking the bottom bracket question because Guitar Ted stated it in his blog. He said the 73mm bb shell will be available in winter....here we are in spring:hmm: Lumberjack, can you tell me if the 16.75 chainstay is possible? Or I would have to run a...

    Origin 8 Scout 29

    Nice looking build. Looking to get one of these frames because of the short chainstay long top-tube geometry as a test frame before I spend more money on a similar geometry frame. Is this frame an 07 or 08 model? I have read only in one place that the 07 had tire clearance issues so the...

    The Monkey Butt

    Nice to read a report. This is what I have been looking forward to :clapping: . What is the chainstay length currently set to? Umm, I'm a WB fork person myself.....so these Fox issues seem foreign to me. Right now the only drawback I see in this frame, and it really is not a drawback...

    EWR Bikes 29er Project

    THey posted an update on their site on 3/10.....something to the effect that they are working out the details on the frame. I really hope one of those details is chainstays in the 17" realm. This is one of the frames, of three I am looking at, that is a serious contender for my next build...

    The Monkey Butt

    Well it looks like I'd end up needing a medium with a 70 to 80mm stem. What are standover measurements for the medium and the small? The HA can be slackened by using a 100mm fork. My understanding is that would equate to roughly a1 degree slackening of the HA. Looking at the frame...

    The Monkey Butt

    Any riding done this weekend? Really curious to hear ride reports on this frame. Kind of confused about a few things. The HA seems steep....is it based on an 80mm or 100mm travel fork? And what offset fork, Reba or the Fox, is the HA designed around?. Looks like it would be twitchy...
