more oofage...

 

[MMcG]

Woah! Beateous! What's the ST length on that sucker? ST and HT angles?

Wicked sick!!!

 

[drjon]

actual c-c on seat tube will be in range of 14". head angle with 30% sag on the 120mm will be right about 69.7 ... seat about the same....
im 5'11" but have always run a compact bike. this way, i bury the seat and hit the rough stuff and it should fly. well as much as my skill allows anyway!

 

[MMcG]

Is the seatpost at the limit?

 

[drjon]

nope. it will have about 1cm extra if my jones is anything to go by ~

 

[MMcG]

that's cool.

 

[sikocycles]

Great looking bike.

Sweet. I've got to ask though, why 150/83?

 

[drjon]

it helps allow short stays/ring clearance with the wider bb. to run a decent chainline with 83mm bb you need wider than 135 hub...qed. ~
