Okay,
What do you guys think of a frame set up like this:
1. Seat tube angle 72.5 degrees
2. Heat tube angle of 71 degrees with a 4" fork up front (Reba I guess)
3. 16.9" chainstays (possibly a hair shorter as I'd be running this single speed)
4. 23" or 23.25" Effective Top Tube length (with a nice slope to it, maybe even with an evil sovereign like brace on it)
5. 16" or so seat tube with a long post
5. but here's the kicker - a high bottom bracket - say 13.5"
How do you think something like that would ride?? Would the higher bottom bracket help make it easier to loft the front end up over or up on to logs or rocks and whatnot?
The short stays would help keep the rear wheel under me when I was standing and climbing right?
Whattya think???
