I couldn't have built it better myself, oh wait, i did! Nearly identical to the one i built. But when i get my new parts from deity this week will be better due to the fact that mine has bent bars and sprocket. Will post pics of the finished build when I get the rest of the new parts on.
yer - i thnk its cos it has a bend in the downtube which it totally doesn't need, would be better off having it in the top tube to give better stand-over clearance...
Yayer!, but its adjustable, least it says in the discription. If the bottom tube did just go straight into the head set the strength wouldn't be as great,
theres a derailer hanger on it , look at the other pics, you could run an 8 or 9 speed, and youd might want a bigger fork, that looks like it could take a 150mm fork..
