Not quite. we have about 2.2" of rearward travel just like the Canfield Jedi just more controlled like the V-10. travel is rear but up, not rear - out. make sense?

that's quite a bit of gusseting

but it definitely looks like a solid bike.

The more and more I look at this frame, the more and more I like it. Got any cool things brewing for the 2010 season??

Correct me if I'm wrong DM, but I do believe one of your diagrams had a projected chain growth of 2.8 inches.

doctorz (Nov 19, 2008 at 13:07)

what does DM stand for , and no none of my actual bike has so much chain growth the overkill has 1 inch backward and the xxx had 1 inch as well wich did not interfer much

the dimensions were off on that movie. It isn't that bad for growth. I'l know as soon as the crankset gets here.

i like it but is there room for the seat tube if its down any lower

gpmoto (Nov 30, 2008 at 22:21)

Dude, I'm pretty sure the seat tube on this frame doesn't move.

nouser (Dec 1, 2008 at 9:34)

looks nice indeed

oneghost (Nov 20, 2008 at 22:29)

I just measured chain growth. it is 1.25"

t3rry Mod (Nov 22, 2008 at 19:32)

hmmm need to check that one thing than. The demo movie of the draw up on the frame's movements shows a growth of 2.8ish at the end of it's travel.
