Got enough tyre clearance there lol. Should be nice when its done, saw a home made frame thing here a little while back which looked kind of crazy, made out of box section if i remember correctly.
I take it for granted living in a fairly "nice" area, but there are still pricks i would avoid walking home late at night, but nothing as bad as allot of the stuff in this thread. hope the guys concerned make a good recovery
My rear tryall rim is the shape of an egg, and my hope mono went bang the other night. also my hope mono trial leaks soo much its like a waterfall, often looses all power but regains it when you pump it several times.
I have a curtis super X and the build quality is brilliant. for an XC bike i dont see how the Excentric bb would be of any use as you would proberly be running gears. if clive is up for building you up a XC frame i dont see any reason why you shouldnt go for it.
