Thanks chaps. That model shows a slightly ovalized 44m dt & straight 32mm tt. I have seen Dmitry suggest a 46mm dt & 35mm tt to one large fella over on mtbr who was disappointed at his frames flexiness. So it appears I have scope to go with bigger tubes. Triton do tube ovalizing too. Am I right in thinking this can help stiffen things up? ( if done correctly of course )
I really don't want this!
Though Dmitry took the frame back & added some strengthening gussets on the frame. It's still far from what I see as my "dream bike" :-/
I'll try making the triangle a bit smaller. I'll check how much seatpost i'm comfortable having extended. I'm possibly overly concerned after having seen a few Lynskeys crack at the seat tube weld after people have run too much post out of the frame.
Speaking of seatposts, I have no intention of running a dropper & have always been fine with a 27.2 post. Would that help comfort wise, compared to a larger diameter?
