70 degrees, seat tube is 71 that's not that steep really, it handles sooooo f*ckin nicely in berms and turns/ corners. for some reason my pics always look weird when I take them inside, but always look better outside. And my angle could be f*cked, some of the older pics have looked better.

there is no way that is a 70 head angle on that bike. I think that frame is 70 with a 5" fork. yours is probably 71-72.

sick, how do you like the forks?
i saw a guy at the firstone DS (california national) with a lefty for ds, just like cedric gracia used to do. does anyone know if this would work well for me? I know i would have to get the 1 1/8 converter thing.

why not? lefties are known to be stiff and realtively lightweigt. sounds good for a 4X fork. they just look a bit odd...

I hate it when the photo's you take distort somehow. I found that if you get down to the level of your BB to take the picture the geometry should look more like it does in reality. I'm no photography buff, I just found it by trial and error. hope that helps tup
