  • No. You'd want to drop the front end if running a sus corrected frame rigid.

    Is the frame an Inbred designed for 26" wheels?

  • ^thats incorrect.

  • Wut?

    Could you expand on this jersey?

  • It's a Pompino. Somebody decided it wasn't slack enough for them

    Like all frames, MTB frames are designed to have a certain headangle i.e 67 degrees. The geometry of MTB frames are designed to accept **relatively long **suspension forks and have the right headtube angle. As such, when you're running a rigid fork on a bike that is designed for **relatively long **suspension forks you have to suspension correct the rigid fork. This basically means making it longer than it needs to be so it raises the front end to the point that a suspension fork normally would. if you didn't the front end would be too low and too steep.

    here is a dramatic example of a suspension corrected fork. It's fairly easy to imagine that with out the fork being that long, the headtube would be near vertical.

  • Right. I'd confused myself with thoughts of 26" sus-corrected geometry and wether or not those forks would be longer than those 700c examples.

  • I'd kill for a side on view but there isn't one!

  • other than the green thats amazing, whats that on the back of the stem though?

  • bell?

  • That's practically insane.

  • That surprisingly functional compared to the cruisers I see here in California, they're a lots more popular than you think.

    Bet you'd never have guessed it's Trek! In terms of functionality it doesn't do a lot for me but thought it was worth posting

    I can't imagine fetching my quarter cord with a riding position like that, even here on the great plains; roots, mud, hills and, and...
    The mini hatchet just drives it into anti.

  • Repost?

  • It is, and there's not much function in it, unless you're planning on christening the frame at the next bump in the road.
    Masi is anti anyway.
    The wine, that is.

  • Little trip around my beachs

    one night only...

    crazy night :D

  • Loving the guards on this:

    Gonna get some for mine I reckon.

  • My every day beater with prolonged SKS fenders, internal wiring and a secured brooks saddle:

  • Looks great, any more info on how you fastened your Brooks. I've been looking at similar approaches but can't find much

  • that is so good, i love it. only thing i'd change is the grips but thats a personal choice
