I didn't think the charge 24" frame was bad geo with a 26 stuffed in it

I still have no idea what I can replace the cap with when it dies. There just hasn't been a frame to match yet.

A cap?

Newer caps have shittier metal, shorter stays (I kinda like the longish stays for the trails) and a retarded BB jack. Of the 2012 and newer caps I've ridden, can't say any of them have stood out enough to get my money. Honestly why I'm STILL on the same frame.

Was hoping deity would have come out with a 24" by now, but the very few rumors I've been hearing are it might be very trails oriented, or might just be a cruiser, and that's if they release it. Thinking Stout is my only option. Custom frames woo!

Theres a FGFS company that makes custom frames for a reasonable price. Just cant remember which company it was.

It's an awesome frame and I'm definitely glad somebody stepped up to the plate and made it. I heard from one owner that the actual quality is not the greatest which is disappointing to hear.

Funnily enough actually the only other titanium hardtail (for our purposes obviously) of which I'm aware was also made by a French company - Candida. The difference is the geo was waaaaay ahead of its time in terms of chainstay length and such. Shame they seemingly went under without a trace.

This was my old one, was sub 10kg build

The weight weeni inside me is trying to get back out so I ordered some!

road and mtb frames are built for very different purposes and in very different ways....
