Re: Chinertown logo
Been busy at both work and play so I haven't gotten to that font yet, but I'm hoping to have some more to show by the end of this week. Time in the woods trumps time at the computer

Re: Chinese SC/AM831 Group Buy
I also agree, I have completely operationally bike and would love for this to become a project build to upgrade my current trail bike. I am no rush to recieve the frame but would appreciate more frequent communication/updates and open discussion of BB or bearings used

Re: Chinese Santa Cruz/AM831
I'm imagining a mullet build with this frame, with a 28-29 lb (>13.5kg) full bike weight with pedals. I'll probably go with a 160mm shock to rake it out a little further. The tricky part, imo, is getting the right shock tune to buy (I want a RockShox Super Deluxe). Do we have a clue on how progressive this design is? Will a MegNeg fit, btw?

Re: Chinese Santa Cruz/AM831
I would like to do the same actually, so as to be able to use my existing I9/Nobl rear wheel. Would be a huge saving to just buy a 29er front wheel. Any idea if this is a good idea with this particular frame? Was thinking 150 or maybe even 140 fork to offset some effect of the mullet setup since this bike is already super slack. I was surprised to hear you are trying to slacken it even more. I would like to run it mullet without making the bike slacker than it already is. I haven't really looked into the details yet. I've attached the geo change just by over-forking to a 160mm Lyrik. Will calculate potential mullet numbers tomorrow after work. August 04, 2020, 12:49:14 AM |

I was surprised to hear you are trying to slacken it even more. I would like to run it mullet without making the bike slacker than it already is. I haven't really looked into the details yet. Using my elementary math knowledge, the resulting geo of a mullet build with a 160mm fork would approximately be: • Fork Height: 571 mm (RS Lyrik 29) • Head Angle: 64.25 • Seat Angle: 75.75 • Wheelbase: 1203.3 mm • Eff. Top Tube: 593 mm • BB Height: 341.1 mm • Chainstay length: same • Headtube Height: same • Reach: -1.7 mm • Stack: +10.1 mm Assumptions: • Diameter difference between 27.5 and 29 in. wheels is at 38mm • Tires to be used are exactly the same model, just different wheel size • No flip chips or anglesets or offset bearings used • Mullet defined as the 29 wheel being in the front and the 27.5 wheel in the back (duh) Guys with engineering backgrounds may want to chime in and correct the above.

Re: Chinertown logo
So this logo is quite the puzzle, it comes out awfully jagged in png/jpg. I think the slant of these letters doesn't work well with a pixel representation. That said, here's an svg. I can continue re-working the lettering to try to get it smooth.
