Only if they went full BMX look (bars and stem with appropriate geo changes to accommodate). I'd be on board for that (it's actually something I suggested at one point, but nothing ever came of it) and agree that would look nice, but then that'd be because it would look like a nice BMX The mod bar-and-stem with a saddle is the worst looking combination I've ever seen on a 20" bike, and the day it happens to the Alias will be the day I stop having any input or affiliation with them 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Davies Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Very cool indeed, is the rear hub spacing 135mm or 116mm? If 116 then how did you get the hope hub in there? If you've done some sort of hub modification, please tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(plus cams/ disc spacing) machined axle, bearings relocated, freehub machined down and threaded for an external lockring, disc tabs and end caps appropriately modified/machined. which means theres absolutely zero dish all done by alex. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbertlemon102 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 that may give a slightly better look at it.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Davies Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the info... Was that an expensive process? The reason I'm asking is I'm toying with the idea of getting one of these frames at some point and a hope hub would be awesome...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Lol Ah, I see the problem. You need to match the seat angle to the stem! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
