Some of the thinnest tubing that I've dealt with- .6mm seatstays. I learned the hard way to never attempt to straighten a pair of seatstays in a bench vise... and always use as large a surface area as possible when starightening! Hours of work ruined by tiny dents. They are now a couple unique tapered disc brake braces.

These 29er frames will be built up as completes in the Fletcher Bike Studio in Houston. There will be a 19.5" frame on the way as well...

This second FS/SS frame has an even 100mm travel where the first one was 85mm. It has wider set bearings and a different system for tightening the main pivot as well (the pivot axle doesn't just squeeze the bracket) I also tried a slacker 68* head angle and higher 13.25" BB height. This geometry would be more at home on rocky terrain where clearance is an issue and a slack rake is a must. I have gotten very attached to the lower 12.3" BB and steeper 69 HA that the first iteration has.
When I find the time I will try a different design for a more trail/AM oriented bike.
My Supertherm is still in queue, but Vern's 24" BMX and Nathan's 26" street MTB frame will be done by this weekend.
