Hrm. I've got 12s, and I ride with my feet way forward on the pedals. Is there more clearance than on a DOC w/ your 175mm arms?

Size 12? I'd go with the 170's. What's to loose going a little shorter?

Also, checkout Matchvideozine for some recent Tonic Action.

USB lost Billy in a huge 8 figure 10 year deal it is all about the business end you know...

Actually, I am hoping if USB can swing a west coast trip we can get a floor to sleep on and some spots to hit.

Leethal:

I believe it's a 10 figure deal for 8 years. Please have the USB legal department confirm this with the Tonic Fab legal department.

Also, hit me up if you are passing through.

This pic may not be of a guy riding a Fall Guy, or even a 24" bike. Nevertheless, it is a picture that defines what riding is all about for me: style. Downside-table as good as it can be done by (my) local trails killer Craig Kleckner.

I'm pissed. I work at a shop, but the owner never orders my parts when I write the part numbers down. I woulda had all my parts like weeks ago but now I've got hardly anything...

Pics coming really soon!

Damnnnn, thats smooth. I love the FG. I emailed Landon, waiting to hear back from him so I can send some cash money.

Im loving the matching spacers and HS. Get er built! I have pile of parts waiting for my frame. I think Im just going to cut down my springs and make some spacers for my DJII rather than buy another fork. I like my zoke.

Post up with your full build as soon as its done!

71 is slack for my tastes but it also depends whether you will run a squishy fork or not, how tall your bars will be... choice of geometry depends on a lot of things if what you're after is a real dialled feel. What uses do you forsee?

As for just the looks of this frame, it's just simply amazing. I could put this frame ontop of my bookshelf, and never take it down.

...but it's not going to end up there. Today UPS will deliver my new blue Fall Guy frame, from the latest batch from Tonic. I started riding in 2002, but at the same time as I bought a Le Toy III in the spring of 2003, I also tore up my knee so bad, that it's only now usable again. My Toy III remained my focus for my rehabilitation and as much as I could afford as a Student. This summer I was finally ready to get back up on a bike, but then what happens... I get talked into getting a Fall Guy by a friend and has ended up waiting for it for nearly the entire summer, but guess what?

Totally worth it!

As my Toy III was the reason I could drag myself to the gym for nearly 2 years just to do rehab work on the knee, the Fall Guy will the frame I get back into riding on, and I think it will stay with me for a long time. My Toy was a tank, but this, this will be a Ninja!

The build:

Fork: Gold Label 2, 3"
Cranks: Oddy Thermal 41T
Broms: Avid Ultimate
Breaklever: Avid Speed Dial SL
Wire: Oddy Illegal Slic
Handlebar: Deity
Steam: NS supermoto pro
Grips: ODI lockons
Seatpost: Thomson
Seat: Shadow Conspiracy Byron allan master - Gots allready
Chain: KHE collapse
Wheelset: Halo SAS 24", Oddy Hazard 48 spoked rear hub
Gearing: 34 Flybikes front, 14 oddy rear
Tires: Holyrers
Tubes: Nokia DH bak

UPS dumped the long awaited package at my work today, ran home happy as a beaver.



Mockup wheel in the rear as I am waiting for my Oddy hazard hub and 41T cranks. It should be finished next week, but I am allready in love with it. Ultimate V-brake in the shelf behind it, and 24 Toaster pedals.
