the dropouts look really nice. remind me of the last raffinux or whatever because of the built in tensioner.
really nice looking bike great job!

Maybe your seat and seatpost look silly is because....it's on the wrong way.

well it was 6 bux, and you cant get the seat to that angle if its on right. only temporary

Slam that wheel! The chainstays do seem a bit long, but hey its personal preference right. Dropouts do look super nice though, def my favorite part of the bike. Nice work! Now post some action pics!

 

[basikbiker]

i need a narrower tire to slam it, the tire rubs the seattube otherwise, and to be more specific on the chainstay measurement, its from the back of the bb shell to the center of the axel on the wheel when the wheel is as far out as it can go. so it kinda looks long in a picture but, is 16 really that long?? so if i was able to slam it the chainstays would be somewhere around 15"

 

[basikbiker]

day one test. the bike has some Pop reall light action feel. smooth. yea it just rides good and solid. anyone interested?

 

[ThePriceSeliger]

Possibly. Can I get more of a description of it?

 

[FR4life.]

complete weight?

 

[basikbiker]

26 pounds

A pivotal will clean that up nicely.

Am I the only one that thinks the dropouts are a bit weird? What is puzzling is the brace on the brake side rear end. Normally the brace is there to help support braking forces. But since the caliper is on an extended dropout, the forces are really transferred to the spot where the dropout piece meets the frame (where the bolts are). That just seems weird.
Not bad, just different...

 

[Windowlicker]

any pics of the frame not built up?
frame weight?
price?
lol

 

[basikbiker]

that brace, yeah when they were teaching the brake bridge stuff, i figured id participate, yeah its not really needed but it doesnt hurt., frame wieght is 4.5 pounds, and if enough people were interested id make more, im just lookin for feedback really.

 

[Windowlicker]

imo the dropouts are great if you wanna run brakeless because of the state brake thing.

i like it though
