I built it up so I can try it out. Here is a pic of the complete build I am riding and testing. I will be taking this places so others can try it too.
The geometry of this frame is pretty tight.
Top Tube is 20.5 inches
Headangle is 75 degrees
Chainstays are 13.5 inches from center of spindle to center of dropout.
BB Height is 11.5 inches
Weight is around 4 1/2 pounds
Frame has a low standover for extra clearance above top tube
Top and down tube are OX Platinum
The rest of the frame is 4130 Chromoly
Brake posts and guide is removable for those who don't run brakes.
This frame is made in Davenport, IA by Standard Byke Co.
Cost will be around $450 for frame.
So far riding this bike is pretty awesome. It manuals well, 360's nicely, and feels light. This build is about 24 pounds so it's easy to throw around. I will be adding Profile Cranks to this bike as soon as I get the bottom bracket. That will drop the weight a little and well, put more US manufactured parts on the bike.
We strongly believe in supporting those who support US manufacturing. All our products will be made right here in our fucking homeland where they should be made. If you want to pay less by buying products outsourced to China and Taiwan, then you are part of the reason our economy is in the shitter. Think about it for a minute. Supporting those who send our jobs overseas is more Americans out of work.....thus less money going back into our system. It will take all of us the correct the problem we are in now. That means you too.......buy American and help us all out! THANKS!!!
