woah that is sexy!
it looks mighty beefy from the pics so i figured it would weight a ton, 4.9lbs though - nicely done!!

it would appear so, i must have been out of the loop, i wasnt aware that he was getting dobermann bikes to build them for him

Very typical geo for a cruiser, except for the CS length.
Toe clearance is going to be a bitch.
A 22" TT and slacker head angle would have made it much more attractive to me.

Throwback!

These are niice puppy's...at first i wasent to sure (its not our design and all )...but once we started to put the tubes on the jig i started to get some good vibes from them.
They look amazing! cant wait to see some fully built and riding pix.

Looks great! Daman/dob - nice job on the fab work. Would love to see what it looks like built up.

It ain't no liquid!

You got that rigth

21.5"? wow, that seems crazy short. our short frames come in at 22" even and they barely have x-up clearance. seems like you would need some 155mm cranks to avoid any issues. maybe your bb being a half an inch lower makes that much of a difference...

I cant not talk about the geo of that old school frame, because we havent design it...

But our Pinscher, Molosse and Pink frame with 21.5'' top tubes are all Barspin and X-up friendly So yes its possible to have a 21,5'' top tube frame and do some Xup...just need to have some skill's

there is a huge difference between a 72degree HA and a suspension corrected fork and a 74degree HA and a 24" bmx fork when toe/tire interference is brought into the equation. seems like a frame builder with knowledge would know something about this, but i digress. the two sets of bikes become completely different monsters and not even worth comparing if you are trying to prove a relevant point...

the same could be said about the Model C which comes in 21.25" and 21.75" . . . .

my dk general lee 24" has a 21 1/8" top tube (center to center) and when you turn the bars almost 180 degrees you can get the pedal within about 1/8" of hitting the tire. i don't mind it being short though, as it's my flatland cruiser.

for a retro 'freestyle' cruiser i think the frame in this thread is pretty sick.

Naa...i was just saying that it is possible to have a Xup compatible frame with 21.5'' top tube. Anyway...Top tube are pretty irrelevant to know if a frame is or not xup compatible...as you mention head angle and seat tube angle will change the top tube length.
