sayshell Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) I have been building a frame with easy bikes (creator of fans and speedrace) This is the first prototype. They did really good work on it, but it needs revision. Looks pretty cool though so I thought I would slap a picture up.

Filo Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 i think you need to shorten your chain a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoozie Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I like it, did you spray the rims yourself? I was thinking of getting purple rims when I spray my frame, but I didn't know if anyone makes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayshell Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) hey, glad you have find true love looks pretty cool, whats the geo and weight? video? the weight is so low its 1650 grams geo is 990 wheelbase 350 chainstay 75 degree headtube +55 bb I won't be able to film anything for a while. A blizzard just came in and their is 2 feet of ice everywhere. Their are some major mistakes on this frame though too so I can't ride it and will go back to the because frame until the final version is complete. The major problem is wheelbase. As I said before people need a better way to measure wheelbase. The steeper headtube and low fork rake and shorter fork on my frame made the measurement off by 45mm. I think it makes a great trials frame but its really hard to spin as it is 40mm longer than my last frame.

Skoze Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 As I said before people need a better way to measure wheelbase. What's wrong with measuring it axle to axle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayshell Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 What's wrong with measuring it axle to axle? headtube angle, fork length, and fork rake effect the number a lot so its hard to be consistent. I think they should measure from center of headtube to rear hub axle. This way you can know exactly how long a frame is before buying it, where as wheelbase does not tell you the actual length of the frame.

Tom Booth Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Reach? Center of BB to headtube? Thats preety affective to be honest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
