• Im not sure what you mean by biaxially ovalised, have you got any pictures?

    What frame do you have again smallfurry?

    The down tube is squashed into an oval shape at each end. The term biaxial comes from the fact that each end is squashed at a right angle to the other. The BB end is squashed into an oval with line of max diameter in line with the BB shell. The headtube end is squashed into an oval with line of max diameter in line with the headtube shell. It allows your downtube to be fatter than the headtube and BB, yet still be wielded to these without wrapping.

    I'm waiting on Triton to get started on a fatframe for me. Once you start involving yourself in the details of these things it can get crazy complex. I've calaculated where best to place the rack mounts to be able to fit a rack over the fat tyres, where I'd like my brake hoses tied for best routing, what headtube angle works best for both sus and rigid fork, how I'm going to get my chain past the massive rear tyre................gets headache

    For Ti the wishbone needs to be a fair bit bigger, see bjammins one below
    And I want it purely for aesthetic purposes. As for ride characteristics, I think thats one for mdcc. But I have read that it can make the ride a bit harsher.

    I guess two small diameter tubes beside each other. Will flex more in the vertical, and less laterally. Than a single tube of equally average stiffness.

    The actual real life size of this effect?

    Fuck knows.
