Frame the second, 127/140, high pivot, progressive pull link, 79* sta 455mm cs Sparkly purple. This one rips, it’s heavy AF but it makes up for that every time it’s pointed downhill. I like the hell out of this one.

Cool use of rod ends. Do you had any problems with dirt and longevity?

Not yet, but it’s really only been together since February. It’s not really the ideal use but they seem to be holding up so far. We’ve got a saying around here, “If you can’t make it right, make it adjustable”

Glad to see you joined the forum! I’ve followed the FS build series on YouTube for a long time and I love your attitude and humor towards frame building. Both bikes turned out sick, I’m excited to see how the third one turns out!

Thanks for that!

I probably should have put all this in the introductions thread, I somehow (by not looking) didn’t realize that was a thing. If anyone wants to delete this thread, I’m gonna slide over to introductions now…

I would say keep this thread. Could be a nice place to update things as you go along. Compared to the intro thread which seems like more of a meet and greet. Just my $0.02. Love the work too!

Ok, just remember who’s idea it was.

I do gots a build thread started for the current bike, haven’t messed with it much since this, although I do have the fixed shock pivot mostly done.
