 Not to sound like a dick,. but some construictive criticism. I like your builds and lie that you put hydraulic brakes on them, really cool. But I was looking @ this build, where theTop Tube & Down Tube meet your Steer tube. Seems like a high stress point, and with that angle + the weight of rider, fork ect., don't you think a small gusset in there could help relieve some of the load. Further more, you could incorperate a gusset and almost do a small gas-tank between the Top Tube & Middle Squigley Smile

 Thank you for the interest in my builds. The point where the top and down tube meet the steer tube is probably a weak point, however I did do months of test riding on this frame with no failure, also the super long fork is actually what takes most of the flex and acts somewhat like a shock absorber. As for the gusset/fake tank.... I thought about doing that, but I wanted this bike to be different from everyone else, so that is why I ultimately went with this design.
