NAHBS is the by far the coolest bike show I've ever attended. The free beer didn't hurt either. Make me wan't to build my own frame.

trainboy17 (Feb 8, 2012 at 17:58)

money is a factor, but if you take the time to contact bike companies they will tell you tube sizes and what not, a lot of those parts do not have to be bought off expensive frame building sites, rather discount online metal sites for way cheaper!

redrook (Feb 9, 2012 at 3:37)

Yeah, and we all have the time and expertise to weld and construct a frame. I know I don't.

Wow, full suspension came out in 1888 (or earlier). Who knew!

Actually, that device you see on the top tube down to the rear wheel is the brake!

Geodood (Feb 9, 2012 at 9:26)

That's a good point, taking that element out makes it a little easier to see the frame. I still think the rear wheel has travel in concert with the lower headtube and fork. Check this out http://www.brodiebikes.com/blog/?p=2283 some shots of the linkage.
