Pretty, gotta love the homemade stuff.

But still no triangles in the swingarm? tsk tsk Mr DeLay

 

[flat broke]

Cool lookin frame. Deffinitely got me off on a little Chromo daulie research tangent. Waaaay more options out there than I would have figgured.

They seriously need to triangluate their swingarms. Can you say stress riser?

 

[bent^biker]

yet still bullet proof somehow

 

[ridiculous]

yeah, i guess these frames have been field proven now, but the lack of some sort of triangle/gusset on the swing arm just makes me nervous. I know its steel but, a small fillet or something would make me feel 20x better about that frame.

and doesn't need gussets if done right. Let face it this is hip to be square

Motocross bikes have no triangulation on the swing arms and they hold up fine. from what I can see this really a similar design aside from shock placement.

 

[BikeSATORI]

If you order one with DJ/Slope/etc. in mind, they will add gussets to the frame. One under the swingarm like a little triangle.
The one shown must be more of an AM frame, although I notice they added a smooth little ht/dt/tt junction gusset. I like it a lot. I've seen some with a much shorter toptube for way better standover height too.

How much do those frames go for?

 

[ZHendo]

the frames are surprisingly cheap. i asked steve about the frame because i might be interested, and he says that there is a lifetime warranty on the whole frame. not to mention, the frame alone only weighs about 7.5 lbs according to his site.

 

[tlproject7]

that is single pivot in its purest

 

[Mtbike]

So, the price is?

 

[Dreyzar]

~$1100 w/shock and powdercoat in any color. Not like that though, the owner of that frame did that himself somehow, or knows some guy. I don't know.
Please don't quote me on that price though, its pretty ballpark. Actually, thats the price for his downhill frame, which is similar, with a DHX. Theres shock choices and frame options. So getting in touch with Steve is the best thing to do if you're really interested.

the 6gun is clean!
i want to see more pics of a complete build.
