The street slants down it wasn't perfectly level so there is an optical illusion. The frame was designed around a 100mm fork to have the perfect angles for slalom. It makes a kick ass dj bike though. We have ridden it with 140mm forks and gone on long Xc and freeride rides with it too. We have been selling Tanto frames for over 3 years now and are almost totally sold out!

 Is it just me, or should it have a longer travel fork? looks like the chainstays are angled down, with low bb height.

 Ok yeah, I like the look of the frame. The drop-outs are sick
