leotrialp Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hello guys, I´m doing this topic because I want to show you my last invent, the LTD Tank 24"... So, this is my project, a real geo 24" steel home made frame and fork... It´s called TANK because of his strength and weight The spec is: WB: 1055mm Chainstays: 357 mm BB height: +6 (+8 with a 26" fork) Head angle: 72º Fork: 385mm So, that´s it... Here you have the pictures of it: Testing it: I hope you like it Thanks and good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Awesome! First impression was it looked like a 2008 GU Typhoon. I hope once you get more used to it we'll see some positive results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 It'll either snap very quickly, or if not it must weigh a ton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Awesome! First impression was it looked like a 2008 GU Typhoon. I hope once you get more used to it we'll see some positive results Yeah i was thinking the same thing, though it would be nice to see better quality pics of this steed to see how solid the frame structure is.

pashley-phil Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 It'll either snap very quickly, or if not it must weigh a ton! Thats very negative. I'm sure he needs to hear that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leotrialp Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 It'll either snap very quickly, or if not it must weigh a ton! Im sure than it will last a long time...because it weights a ton! I don´t know how much it weights, but im sure than its pretty heavy Im sure theyre not 24in wheels? Something is wrong with your eyes No seriously, it´s a 24 in all sense... If you don´t believe me, I can take a picture of the Tyre than says 24" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Histon Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 fair enough, are they your own forks too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leotrialp Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 fair enough, are they your own forks too? Yes and no... It´s a normal 24 fork, but it had a 1 steer tube... Now it have a 1 1/8 steer tube.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Why do you think it would snap JT? I didn't say it would snap. I said it's either going to snap or it must weigh a ton because it isn't a triangular design and hasn't been professionally designed so the only way it wouldn't snap is if it weighed a lot more than your standard frame. It's awesome that you've actually made a frame though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 whats the wheel base (length of the frame?) its looks sooooooooo long! According to the first post, 1055 I'm not a fan of the geo. The bb rise would make it feel horrid for me I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials-mad-Josh Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Haha that's awesome. I remember years ago someone was making a frame out of wood. Can't remember how it ended but I'm sure it wasn't good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
