BT Raven 8.

Wheelbase: 1055-1085mm adjustable

Chainstay Length: 370-385mm (with rim brake), 365-395mm (with disk brake).

BB Rise: 20mm

Head Angle: 72 degrees

Or similar, the short KOT ms2

Wheelbase: Short 1065mm

Chainstay Length: 385mm

BB Rise: 30mm

Head Angle: 70.5 degrees

Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: Short 655mm (25.75"), Long 665mm (26.5")

They are the only ones i can think of in modern frames.... or of course you could go for a leesen, fresh products, Iolo etc and get one custom made in the same geo... but then of course they are steel, and i personally wouldn't put money on the design being strong first time.

Yeah it had a really long reach for its wheelbase and i think the reach was longer than ali c's 1080 proto.

You will never find a frame that will ride the same because little changes always make a difference to the ride, so i would just buy one looks arnt that bad.

How the hell can you not like the look of the Justice... I frequently lubricate all over mine.

However I did nearly buy a GU Typhoon instead of the Ashton, and lastnight (when I thought I'd killed it) I decided it would be the 2008 Typhoon Comp that would replace it (untill the new Justice comes out).

GO GO GU!

Ah right, I think that's half the reason I like it!

Yeah from what I gather the '07 (the one Ali C used this season) was late in going into production so it's coming out as an '08. Please don't take that as gospel though, I may have picked it up wrong.

In a frame with a 1055mm wheelbase? :o

Never knew the head tube angle influences the length of the bike as much as that :ermm:

Yep... which is why, unfortunately, there's nothing out there that's similar geo to an Ashton, they all feel super different cos of the head angle... apart from maybe an Inspired as Ali says.

new ashton is coming son ive heard

Where from dude?

(broken record fires up...)

maybe a second hand old pure ? look like an ordinary bike - take a seat.

geo is around the 1065 mark with a slacker headtube angle but the reach is pretty much the same as the ashton thanks to a large headtube + slightly lower bb - probs around the zero mark. you can get them with vee or magura mounts and they are very strong. they also are pretty light (alot lighter than a tanky ashton)
