...the long headtube exagerates the slack angle - I think we're only looking at 71 degrees, with a cx fork.
The standover height must have limited the use of frame for MTB back then.
Thuekr-
Yea you might be right.. maybe ill print out a protractor and do the old science/ math thing with a string and all. And yea no kidding! the stand over is outrageous for a "mtb"
Ill need to get the angles anyhow if i want to play around with the fork length/ geometry. Thanks for the link @russmeyer I guess i could also nerd it out in bikeCAD just for fun.

New 26" franken projekt!
This huge mtb frame came in the post today! The old dude just wanted a beer. He was so nice to package it up and ship it to me, so i sent him a couple of half litres and some chocolate.
Got the bb and headset out without problems, despite the intimidating rust. Guess it had been greased well back in the day.
Dont really know what i want to do with it, but im really diggin all of these recent 26" functional builds.
I might be getting some old 1" bullmoose bars. I need a fork, maybe the one you used @bankiren . I dont have the original forks, but is 400mm a-c pretty standard for old mtbs? The fork in the mockup pick is a 400 a-c cyclocross fork, and it looks pretty spot on with bb drop and toptube angle.
But damn the HT and ST angles are slack AF.
