FoxRacer Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Well, I've recently have been thinking about designing frame and thought that it would be good to ask you. What people like and dislike? What would you like to see in a frame. I was mainly thinking about stock frame as this is what I ride and know the best.I was thinking about some universal geo like:WB: 1087mmBB Rise: +40mmCS: 382mmBut what would you prefer:Integrated booster / seperate one?Horizontal d/o or Vertical d/o with integrated chaintensioner (which actually works and doesn't make any problems)?4bolts or both 4bolts and disc?Any other special demands?Painted 1color / Painted in few colors with good looking graphics / polished silver? If there would be custom painting would you be ready to pay extra 30-40 pounds for it?Waiting for your comments. This research can be very useful not only for me:)Regards.

Lawnmowerman Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Short horizontal dropouts and something similar to the Leeson tensioner as it works perfectly and is offset towards the wheel so isn't in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@banbury-trials Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) 1075wb385 cs+30 bb72.5 h/athis is what i was thinking too,maybe horozontal dropouts like the d.o.b and mbk.i also would like a frame to have a anodized black colour with dark grey and red graphics steve Edited December 13, 2007 by banbury trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxRacer Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I've been thinking about horizontal d/o similar to Toxsin Mod or MBK, but they will change geometry drasticly and will vary depending on gear ratio. Which IMO isn't anything good, since changing wheel with horizontal d/o is pain in the ass. I already designed chain tensioner, which is totally unique and am 100% it will work brilliantly:)About look:Well we want to make something low (like czar), but still totally diffrent from other frames on market. I don't want to be another guy who 'copy&paste', I want to push boundries of the sport even further!Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
