bluecatracingcat Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 (edited) Check out his site. waltworks.com I'm getting a nice custom mtb bike for my girlfriend off this guy. I think he'd be upto building a nice light steel trials frame. His frames start at $800 US posted to UK.

Mr Motivator Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Quote from "Walt's Rants" What's wrong with long chainstays? This is a rant aimed at all the 29er fans out there. It seems like every other day or so I get asked to build a 29er with super short chainstays. Why? Short chainstays aren't going to make a noticeable difference in traction when standing on the pedals (the most common reason I hear) and they aren't going to transform your bike into a super nimble switchback-riding weasel. Long stays, on the other hand, keep things wicked stable on the descents and allow you to ride steep stuff with way more confidence. You could get a trials frame from him. Might have long stays though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Trials is totally different though I guess. I reckon he just cant do short stays, and keep good chainring/tyre clearance :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Pearson Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 The guys is probably a very apt and able engineer, but his expertise may not span out far enough to make a good trials frame; Trials is totally different though I guess. I reckon he just cant do short stays, and keep good chainring/tyre clearance :) ← Leeson engineering and inginuity got round that, its going to be interesting to see how this guy copes with it.
