Canardweb Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hello, here is my new ride. I went with nearly the same geo as the Breath frame except I made the chainstay length shorter. It comes out as 1010; 71,5°, +85; 350. Weight is a bit over 8,2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Wondered who that frame was for. Weight is seriously impressive given the fact Josh said it was a pretty heavy frame with the welds and the curvature. Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 If I ever rode again I think i'd have to get a jaf, theyre seriously impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 That looks really nice. I like the pics showing the different stages of the build as well. I'm definitely getting a jaf frame next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Yes, my previous bike was 7,68 kilos (Breath frame and forks). But, that frame is around the 2 kilos mark so 550 heavier than the previous Breath frame. But the Try-All forks are 100 grams lighter than the Breath ones, and now they are even more as I had to cut the steerer to fit it on this bike. So yes around 8,2. I was on a hurry to go on holidays so I could only weigh the parts alone. When I'll get back I'll weigh the full build and let you know. About the way it feels: It feels so nice to ride but felt really disturbing at the start. I can't really explain, but it feels like a stiff spring. What I mean is when you ride the bike, it feels really stiff, especially at the front area and at the pedalling thanks to the double seattube design that has been perfectly made by Josh. But as soon as you start making the bike jump it gives you this rebound like if you rode very low pressure tires. At first I thought I had a slow puncture but it's the bike that feels like that. I need to get used to that but it certainly helps! EDIT: And god it's so nice! Edited July 14, 2013 by Canardweb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
