are you considering building a 650b version? i`ve recently bought a large black katipo frame off ebay in the uk. do you know who was the original owner that you built it for?

i think the frame i have got must be ste`s bike from hitchin but it has had the red graphics removed from the downtube. can i get a 650b rear end for this frame scott?

I like the straight tube better. Did you bend it for a longer shock or different leverage curve?

Yeah one reason is the leverage curve, plus new frame layout also.

I love it! Looks a bit like a katipo jedi though...
