Note that these drawings represent my plan. In reality my top tube has an angle of about 6 degrees. Otherwise the finished frame matches the drawings.

  • This drawing has too much stuff on it to be useful.
  • This drawing has cut tubing lengths and angles.
  • This drawing has centerline tubing lengths and angles.  The purple lines and dimensions are effective lengths (if the frame was built with a level top tube, instead of sloping).
  • Fork geometry.<br />
<br />
This probably isn't that necessary.  Just build a fork with around 62mm of offset to get around 38mm of trail.  Make it long enough to keep the head tube angle at 73 degrees.
  • A basic view of the bike without dimensions.  The wheels shown are 650Bx38mm with fenders.
