This one looks really interesting. I would like to see more! (look a bit like some of my ideas over the Whyte PRST fork https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/18468997/ )

It seems that most people "got stuck" at the tire pressure thesis of Mr Millyard and forget that interesting shock absorber...

Ahoy there! Such a brilliant design! Especially that 2nd generation, single arm beauty. Allen, if you’re reading these posts and you are willing to do that, please do reveal more details, such as how you tension the chain on both transmission steps, how you sealed the primary disk. Thank you in advance. Your bikes will always be the best inspiration material for me. T hank's for sharing. John-Nelson

Congratulations! Welcome to the builder’s sect. Also, your story is delightibly written, well done. Happy trails. UncaJohn

Is that so? Are you able to support your position with some valid arguments?

@KATZbikes: HA! You're so right... add on that the spoiled brat that will claim he can feel the frame flexing with his prostate! The truth is that weight is NOT the top priority. There are so many other factors that matter more...

@softsteel: We adapt to the idiosyncrasies, that’s all! (if we didn’t e wouldn't be able to ride a bike at the first place!) Happy trails!

Softsteel (!!!) All the time mate! -No ballancing poblems -The bike, actually feels better with the speedhub! -All the "goods" that will drive you away from the derailleur...

@KATZbikes: Simply true

Can you imagine how amazing it must have felt to have designed your own bike years ago, and then you get to ride it? Well, yes i do! And about the "professional" who "rushed that first frame.... what can i say, that does not sound that "professional"!!! Great project mate. I would suggest to go on and build yourself your next wonder. Clearly you've got what it takes.
