Nate
pretty happy with the weight of this frame. It has a heat treated, 1.5' dia, straight gauge DT which would normally put the weight over 5 lbs but the Supertherm seatstays brought it down to 4.9 lbs. So its strong and dent resistant in all the right places.

Square
Sometimes I make a standover that is too tall or something and I end up with aborted front triangles laying around. I decided to experiment with rectangle tubing as a yoke/monostay.
Rectangular tubes are much easier to work with than round tubes: No tube blocks required for hole saw notching, and the stay miter is a flat cut. That little tube insert is for looks but it probably helps stiffen up the mono-stay a little too. This type of stay would work well with removable chainstay brakes as the square tube is low profile and doesn't present any clearance issues (like a 1.5" round mono-stay does)
This is a trails 22" wheeler that will be for sale once I get around to coating it. Here are the numbers:
21" TT
74.25* HA
13.75" CS
68mm Mid BB
Straight gauge DT/ Supertherm TT
12.6-12.9" BB height (+1.55")

Benton's huge street 26"
This ones got a steep SA and a super long TT because tall people don't belong on a one-size-fits all frame... Not that there are any left hand drive specific, 110mm spacing, stock frames out there anyway
