Here are some pics of my new rig. I have a little riding in on it so far. It's good, real good. I hope you enjoy the pics. If you want a specific shot, i would love to accommodate. After I get real time on it, i will create a review.
I don't know. I imagine 66 or 67. I can't think of a way to measure. Got any ideas (i don't have a protractor)?Toshi said:mmm purdy . what's the headangle, could you measure that?
uh... You are in Seattle, you can give it s swirl. I would like to see your rig too.Toshi said:er, you could tie a rock onto a string, and then measure the axle-crown distance on the fork, the distance from the crown to the ground (vertically, using the rock), and the distance from the center of the front axle to the ground. but it's not that crucial
i don't think i'll be doing any dhing this winter. trying to strengthen my rotator cuffs before tearing them up crashing next year . so we should hook up for a ride in the spring66 said:uh... You are in Seattle, you can give it s swirl. I would like to see your rig too.
Geez dude - I feel stupider eveytime I read one of your posts.Toshi said:er, you could tie a rock onto a string, and then measure the axle-crown distance on the fork, the distance from the crown to the ground (vertically, using the rock), and the distance from the center of the front axle to the ground. but it's not that crucial
d'oh, that's not my intention. i'm trying to be like the geometry teacher back in the day, trying to convince the class that it's actually useful...s1ngletrack said:Geez dude - I feel stupider eveytime I read one of your posts.
I think they're relatively expensive.Lumpy_Gravy said:What I dont get is why these frames arent more popular. Just look at the COG, its got to be super stable
like most small builders, their low numbers probably keeps them for the local demand, like Balfa, BMW, Knolly....Incubus said:I think they're relatively expensive.
Who carries them anyway? Be nice if Jenson or go-ride would pick them up.
Some? looks like if the paint was stripped off and you threw a couple more bolts here and there it would be Zed readyneaky:zedro said:honestly at first i felt the bike was kinda ugly, but with the black paint and fully built its a pretty cool looking rig.
plus it follows some of the concepts i hold dear....
ahh, only to the untrained eye. Thats like me saying the ElCuervo is like a DHR without the ugly stickers :evil:leprechaun said:Some? looks like if the paint was stripped off and you threw a couple more bolts here and there it would be Zed readyneaky:
hehe
Ahr you the one who done found my cuzzin'? We were s'pozed ta be gittin' murried tudhay...but she done run off ag'in.zedro said:i may have something usefull for you with 11 teeth
nice comeback!zedro said:ahh, only to the untrained eye. Thats like me saying the ElCuervo is like a DHR without the ugly stickers :evil:
PS...are you still having trouble finding a pulley? because i may have something usefull for you with 11 teeth on it
Agreed. I thought it was one of the ugliest bikes I had seen. But now that it's mine, and it rides sooo nice, it's a little more pleasing to look at.zedro said:honestly at first i felt the bike was kinda ugly, but with the black paint and fully built its a pretty cool looking rig.
a couple reasons would be that there is not one in any shop near you (unless you live on Vancouver Island), there are only 11 so far (soon 9 more), i think most people want the sure thing in stead of the near prototype.zedro said:What I dont get is why these frames arent more popular.
Whoa theres only one bike I have ridden with that much travel and that was a demo 9, but that was in a parking lot. Sweet ride man.66 said:9 inches
I purchased a cool pipe angle tool (basically a plumb bob/protractor tool in a 4"x4" square). It measures down to a half-degree and provides a really good reference for course set-up. Costs about $10 and be found at Home Depot or Lowes.I don't know. I imagine 66 or 67. I can't think of a way to measure. Got any ideas (i don't have a protractor)?
the thing with high pivoted bikes is when you corner you want to weight foward, this actually causes the chainstay (and wheelbase) to shorten making quick turns easier.neversummersnow said:Only one problem with it...if they get it dialed I'de even consider one after I'm done jumping company to company...
If they can reduce their unsagged chainstay length to sub 16" it'd be viable. Otherwise, you're riding a bike with 18.5+" chainstays under sag...they have a LOT of extension.
yeah, and i dont its structuraly possible to make standover any lower than that.bpatterson6 said:That Bike looks like it has a really low standover Height.
Or is it just the pictures?
That looks like a good ride for my wife if it does.
Very low. I think the lowest. One of the reasons I looked toward this frame.bpatterson6 said:That Bike looks like it has a really low standover Height.

I like it. I'm hoping she will too.zedro said:yeah, and i dont its structuraly possible to make standover any lower than that.
