But to counter what your saying
Theres some connection to british teeth and welds
The comnection is that they usually look bad....
Do they not know how to setup their welders?
And on the subject of british bikes, the oranges look like an old foes retarted british cousin with ugly teeth (welds) i dont understand the love for orange, people hate on foes, but the mans fabrication and detail is something to behold.
Peace

If you like the ride why change it.
Tbh when the empire came out i had dreams of a full billet dh rig, i saw the empire and it got me excited at the time, and i do think it looks better than an orange
However, I do have to agree with you about the hardtails. They're at the opposite end of the design spectrum, but that works too. Maybe I just like bikes. Lol
That knolly is uglier than an old tripple stay specalized demo.
I think he builds them at home by himself
Guarentee you cant do any better.
LOL.

Go ride an Evil Following and get back to me. The most fun bike regardless of wheelsize.
Regarding wheelsize. I think it's pretty much accepted that 29" maintain speed easier. If we were braking then pedalling every 100m or so maybe acceleration would be more critical. A tall guy like yourself should be all over 29". Not due to the big guys need big wheels BS people like to bang on about, but because you have a much higher CoG (even taking into account the longer wheelbase of bigger bikes) and riding a bike with more BB drop adds stability.
My point was that they've had this shape for a few years already
It would seem that referring to aluminum as ‘alloy’ is an old country thing that then transferred to the bike industry. In North America it’s not as prevalent. I run a machine shop in Canada, and trust me, if I asked my suppliers for some alloy, they’d ask me which one since there are hundreds.
Try fitting a 26 inch tire on a rim that is for 27.5 tires.
You will be glad for the accurate word verses a general word like "mountain bike tire.
Why in detail describe two different tunes from Reynolds?
What is the difference?
The proportion of metals alloyed into the steel.
Why is steel called chrome moly?
All the fancy hi end metal bits that make up your bike where spawned out of the innovation by Americans to use aerospace industry metals .
I watched from the start the wicked jewelry created by Kriss King , Ritchy welding steel frames. Back then people talked about tube sets.
Aluminum alloy was a marketing jargon to make aluminum sound cool. And it got abbreviated to alloy.
Those numbers before AL they are very important and define the properties of the metal.
Then there is the heat treating .
An example is 6061 t6 AL
Or 7000 Al
Reynolds 851 steel tubes
6Al 4v Titanium
3Al 2v Titanium
The proportion of the metals alloyed makes a significant difference in properties of the metal.
Some people like to know about this stuff.
Na bro, in merica aluminum is aluminum, chromoly is chromoly, steel is steel, stainless is stainless, and titanium is titanium,
Each one has many varietys to people that work with metals its more like this
Hey i need some aluminum.
What alloy
I need some 6061 tubing for some shit im going to weld togeather
And some 7075 for some parts im machining
Sitting too forward will fry your kness.
