BareNecessities-
It is not that bad actually.
150mm headtube... So far it looks sort of composed I think.
I am probably going to make it with a tandem 44.5mm downtube squished at the BB shell (a la Max) and use a Zona 35mm downtube as top tube and a Columbus Zona R800 seattube we had them make in 600mm. I wanted to go for a dropper, but the bigger seat tube sizes can't be bend to R800 yet. They are working on it.And then I will be using a @Konga yoke and my own wishbone design in T45 steel. It will be the Volvo v70 of MTBs

Well, I can't really see myself needing anything bigger than 2.4 to be honest. I am quite content with 2.2".
Really I am mostly building this to get a frame size that fits. My inseam is not normal so I get a lot of exposed seat post and because I am also hench it tends to bend.
