pogo at solidworks in Plymouth, United Kingdom - photo by chazdog

With a cane creek shock kindly given to me by someone much much better on solidowrks than myself :) Shock is a little small, for the frame, but you can see what it would look like now!

pogo this front end is bang on the money! fk the curvy one. if/when you make me one of these frames i want a straight tubed one okay. ta

will probably end up like this, tube bending makes moar expensive and complicated. Will draw up a straight one as well in the new accurate one, i prefer it like that as well

rad! sign me up for one after you have read my other comment on the gears

i dont see how the suspension works. it looks as though it would pull the shock not compress it

gearwheels counter rotate the lower link. the shock too small for the frame in this pic, so the lower arm is rotated nearly fully and would have compressed a bigger shock nearly 2 inches by this point. hard to explain, but look at the photos without the shock it, small arm in front of the bb pushes the shock as the gears are turned by the pulling on the swingarm. The shock is 2 inches too short, so the arm has already moved through a little over two inches

I think you sould give the top tube a nice curve so it fits in with the rest! i am impressed!

thinking of curving the lower one for wheel clearance. want to keep the top tube and seatstays straight to keep that straight upper line to the frame
