That is one nice frame! I am going to have to make a decision on a hard tail frame soon. It would be rude not to build one when I have all of the other bits required to build one.....

Getting a lotta love this frame is..

The choice for a decent hardtail is better than ever, if you have the bits, why r u waiting?

wythall1 (Jan 22, 2015 at 10:43)

My big dilemma is 26" or 650b. if 650b, then I need to sell the wheel set and Fox 34 forks so that I can buy 650b versions. also I particularly like the frame that you have which is not available at the moment, also I really like the 2015 NS Eccentric frame which is not available until sometime in March.... this one is suitable to run both 26" & 650b.... then there is the other problem of the amount of choice as you say...

your fork, your frame. does not match but those are perfect

I think so Wythall, check his site out,there's a ti cruiser on there.

silverfish1974 (Jan 22, 2015 at 2:59)

Thats nice, is it yours?

silverfish1974 (Jan 22, 2015 at 3:33)

I guess not...

pigman65 (Jan 22, 2015 at 5:30)

I wish, just window shopping.

pigman65 (Jan 22, 2015 at 5:31)

I was going to post it, but it must have been done before ?

silverfish1974 (Jan 22, 2015 at 5:34)

The guy who commented last thinks it's yours too....

silverfish1974 (Jan 22, 2015 at 5:38)

Oh you mean in the sexy thread, can't remember seeing this picture.

pigman65 (Jan 22, 2015 at 5:59)

I have risked the Wrath of Mozz ! It's posted

silverfish1974 (Jan 22, 2015 at 6:06)

Ahaha..I know what you mean man, can make you feel terrible sometimes...

but if you pull it off you will feel good for posting it...

pigman65 (Jan 22, 2015 at 6:08)

I love his brutal put downs, gives the forum a bit of life..

silverfish1974 (Jan 22, 2015 at 6:20)

Yeah true I don't mind when its aimed at someone else. I just feel stupid when I efff up a post.

silverfish1974 (Jan 22, 2015 at 8:53)

Have you seen those yellow Curtis DH frames, I came across it a few months back and posted up a pic or two in my mobile uploads, I thought it was great looking, I'm surprised I don't' remember seeing the AM7 frame then when looking at the Curtis bikes...

wythall1 (Jan 22, 2015 at 8:59)

Would that be the same Curtis that were making BMX's in the 80's by any chance?

silverfish1974 (Jan 22, 2015 at 9:05)

Not sure buddy, it looks like this

Just noticed I already had the AM7 frame in my mobile uploads. It doesn't have the toptube/seat tube brace though?..

Oh sorry 'wythall1' I misread your comment..not sure but I'd imagine so...

silverfish1974 (Jan 22, 2015 at 3:29)

pigman65 (Jan 22, 2015 at 5:55)

shall i chance it ?lol

silverfish1974 (Jan 22, 2015 at 6:50)

No no no dont post it....Oh too late....

Just kidding...of course its sexy thread worthy, I think so. Custom geo upto 150mm forks, Reynolds 853 & Columbus tubing, 44mm headtube, rear bolt thru. The spec of the pictured bike is ok and looks ok, of course it could be bettered and made to look nicer, but thats a personal thing. The main thing is the frame and thats a good en, a great custom frame that. Maybe a painted colour would look nice too.
