pretty gnar.
Not to be too critical, but do you think the head tube will be beefy enough like that? We don't have a clear view of the head tube area but from this view it doesn't look like there is much for gusseting up there, considering how much travel that bike has. Just wondering.
I am assuming you are the frame builder..?
Nice ride. :2thumbs:
yeah, I built the frame, the front end is made out of 4130 steel, check out most bmx bikes there is maybe a gusset on the underside of the downtube.
I have been lucky enough just to ride this bike in the parking lot of his shop and in just that short ride I can tell you all that this is one very sweet frame. I WILL be getting myself one soon. So props to ya Jer on building a swwweet ass ride.
I am for drooling all over the floor yes...sorry, the effects left over from interbike! That is one sweet ride! I got to see some of the build upto this one last Feb and I can tell you it is a monster! ---theres' my support Jer! :2thumbs:
thanks, just wait till you see what I have in the works, 6.6 inch trail bike based on the morningstar suspension lighter weight but just as strong. :naughty:
