now that i have a proper seat and post, and comfy grips. heres a pic.
and geo:
HA:71
SA:72
bb drop:36mm
effective tt length: 22.75
chainstay length:16.2 to 15.1"
total wieght: 25 pounds
frame wieght: 4.5 pounds
and i am sort of thinking about building bikes in the future to sell, so i guess what im asking is would you consider buying one? my next frame will have a gusset or two and better tire clearance for the rear end, but this is the first one, hopefully of many. also id offer custom geo too if i start building em.

that headtube looks unusually long...

its only 4.7 inches, it might look that way cause the tubes are not huge

some people might like the low bb but to me that is crazy low

 

[Savage_Animal]

holy shit is that a pargyle with 409 lowers?


ohhh and the rear looks a little sketchy with the thin tubbing

Not really. It's probably just barely under 12". My stp with a rigid is at 11-5/8", and it rides great.

its a regular argyle 409. and the rear end does have skinny seatstays and stuff but trust me they aint thin. and here's a pic of me "testing it" like 20 minutes ago.

must have just been the lighting cause the stations looked gold

nice ride tho

the stays are way to small for me. add the leverage from the tire and axel, it doesnt look like a good combination

Too long? What kind of riding do you do that would require longer than 16.2? Hill climbing exclusively, XC? His stays are conservative. Most people that ride trails would only ride it at 15.1.

PS. So cool that you built your own frame dude. Riding it must be more rewarding.

he is saying the tubing is too small not too short.

i might be interested if they were pretty cheap but i doubt they will be...nice though i wish i could weld...but i have no natural talent for it

Makes sense after reading, I have no idea if that could be true or not. Although I think the folks in Ashland would not let a bike leave that seemed like it would fail. Could be wrong.

Pimp.

my fallguy frame weighs a bit over 5 pounds... most bmx guys wont ride a frame under 5 pounds. I think 4.5 pounds for a 26 inch frame is sacrificing strength some where

 

[fortenndu]

If the price was right I'd buy one.

everything is double externally butted tubes, where most steel dj hardtails and bmx bikes are made from straight 4130 chromoly. and the seatstays are thick but small diameter. ever look how small superco's are??? plus i didnt put any gussets on the bike which also saves wieght but i am for the most part a smooth rider. most bikes these days are still tremendously overbuilt due to liability. so the wieght isnt that fu kin amazing if your not ignorant.

Without a doubt. I'd like to see some more detailed shots of everything. Headtube, BB, Chainstays, dropouts.

Very nice... I see you actually found a way to keep shit from getting censored. God bless you. Keep up the good fight...
