Sweet looking frame. I love it
I wants.
dibs on your current FG
Yeah, if anyone as a good condition current Fall Guy they want to get rid of to pick up one of the new ones, let me know. I'll pay handsomely... especially if it's one of them blue ones.
i got a grey one for ya as soon as the new on drops.
I got one of the blue ones...
Id only consider letting it go once I know what the availibity is on the new frame....
That thing is hot cuz it's fly.
Still recovering from the Helter Belter.
How about a low altitude Proper No-can?
Yup, that's the new Fall Guy.
I miss the double bend stays too, but this new frame is sooo tiny there's really no room for them. 14.25" chainstays, 9" c-c seat tube. It's possible to go shorter, but this seems to be a sweet spot. Stable enough for trails with plenty of pop for slower speed stuff. This bike can be built LIGHT.
Everything else is the same. Might build a few "Tall Guys" for gorillas and people who prefer long bikes like myself, but the current TT length reallyworks for most riders.
Availabilty? Near future.

Heeeey, my buddy. Keep me posted.I got one of the blue ones...
no-can over a dirt spine? so nice, doyle-esque extension.
put me down for a raw one landon
you got it brotha
oh damn, you know it. I love that fork, that guy has some good skill and taste.
Have you ever thought about offering a rigid fork Landon? I bet you would get a lot of orders with new frames.
OR... go the extra step and make the Fall Guy a cruiser...
OMG... yeah, that would really be the treats... That teardrop fork up front (I'm guessing it has clearance for a 2.3 or 2.4 tire) mounted to a Tonic built frame with 9" seattube, 15" chainstays, 22" TT. Mid BB and 14mm axle drops in the rear. It's the type of bike I've been wanting to see for about 10 years now.OR... go the extra step and make the Fall Guy a cruiser...
Cru - I know your t-downs are dialed but you'd get them 270 like Doyle on a ride like that.
i have 3 cruisers which i think is pleanty enough. but if they made a fall guy based cruiser i wouldnt be able to stop myself from adding one to my collection.OR... go the extra step and make the Fall Guy a cruiser...
cheers,

Cruisers are fun, but I think we'd build a 20" before a cruiser.
Probably a lot like the FG: V-brakes, our DO's, and low slung.
"Cruiser Brian" showed up at the Helter Belter. I've ridden with him some at Burnside, and he can definately ride.
I don't know what kind of bike he rides, but I think he runs Cruiser Slams. Works for him.

Hey Landon what is the TT and the Headtube Angle and wheel base going to be on the new fall guy. When you sad it can be built LIGHT how LIGHT is light ?
tiny drops are the pops.
you like it raw don't ya' cru? can't stay away.
any geo changes?

Im thinking of going back to lo-pro colors and build.... That raw is looking tight. Ill decide once I see the frame numbers.
man o man.... i'm almost ready to give up them bent seatstays for the new Fall Guy... too damn sexy.
anyone interested in a used fallguy?
anyone interested in a used fallguy?
am I the only one that wishes they had disc tabs?
hmmm... lets see........ yep.
No you arent...I really really think they should...
Landon has a good handle on the design though...But i like
rotors!
Yea, I'm also a fan of having more wheel options.
more wheel options with discs? like 30 different rim options for rim brakes is not enough for ya?
I like the sound of that geo. I'd love to see some close-up picks of the frame.
Nope, I need at least 40 options.
Any new thoughts on the "Tall Guy" Landon?
If you ever finish and deliver t1maglio's FG so I can check it out in person I might get real serious about one.
i really really like the look of the new fall guys...It's funny im pretty much a dedicated 26" rider, and the howie is more than i could ask for at this point but as i ride more and more park i can see why 24's might be nice at some point.
I thought i would never say that...
