I also didn't know Fox made a 300mm drop Transfer. Razz

That's a 425mm easy! And yes... Something is way off on the photo perspective.

Really strange perspective on that photo. HA looks about 75 degrees and the wheelbase about 950mm. Or is it me? I fully acknowledge it could be. lol
this is what it looks when you’re over 6’3”. Always looking down at stuff.

I wish Stanton would fabricate proper singlespeed dropouts.

Horizontal dropouts instead of proper sliders like the Honzo. I also believe the Singlespeed dropouts on the Stanton’s are 135mm spaced. Most guys I’ve seen running singlespeed on Stanton’s are using a tensioner.

well, if a tensioner like the surly tuggnut does the job, I'm in. 135mm spacing is no problem, as my surge already comes with that... other options (geometrywise) are a custom frame or getting another surge. running one of these jockey wheel tensioners is not an option. thanks anyway, that was helpful.

i'll keep looking. my last build wasted so much money, there's none left to spend atm. nothing's gonna happen before fall (or the old frame cracking properly)

I really like the 1st shot of that Moxie. Moody lighting and are those marks on the floor behind the back wheel or stuff hanging in the spokes? It's playing tricks on my eyes, I keep thinking I see bent spokes.

Ditch the fork decals, maybe tidy the hoses up and its a killer looking bike. One of my favorite Moxie"s so far.

Yep, get rid of the forc decals and Take a Grey/silver fork. Would bei Killer! The frame itself is already outstanding as IT IS. probably the Most beautiful of all.

My eyes keep going to the mix match spoke nipples. Like pics of dirty bikes instead of showroom art with no pedals but would like to see this one clean.

I think he means a chain tensioner?

Horizontal dropouts can work perfectly (see BTR) and of done well 135 thru or bolt up works absolutely perfectly. It the stantons are slipping it’s one issue (customer issue) if they don’t allow proper adjustment then that’s just poor design.

Here’s a pic of BTR’s solution. The bike is in this thread.
