With a 16.5" chainstay, the tire clearance is huge. It easily fit my 2.5" Maxxis/Mavic DH wheel.  I think one might be able to use a 650b wheel with this frame.

Pretty close to close to finished with the All Mtn frame... I will still have to get the headtube reamed later in the week

Caught a glimpse of Vernon riding his Indust prototype 22" wheeled frame:

I hope the geometry is working out alright, its pretty hard to decide a suitable BB height on a bike that has no predecessor. The only other 22" is pretty dirt specific... very long chainstays and very low BB height)

    Looking good Matt, looking very good indeed.

    Using the 1.75 tube was a good idea, it looks much nicer than a narrower one would have.

    PS, has it got chainguide tabs?

    Don't worry about it. It's my fault for dreaming up such an awkward build. Plus the extra time has let me save up for the build!
