HI Guys thanks for all the comments,,
i drew this up at the end of last year, sent the drawings and money off in Jan,, it has taken 5 months to get it built, and in those five months I have been looking back at the drawings wishing i had changed a number of points,
the bb is slightly more flexible than my ragley td-1 , but i would like it to be stiffer (just incase I fancy a belt drive setup)
i wanted a ridable bike first time out so the dropouts were “over engineered” they are very stiff indeed if a little wide,
things i may change larger diameter downtube,, I am still in two minds about lowering the chainstay down the seat tube as it would have to be narrower with less tyre clearance and stop me running a front derailier all to increase BB stiffness,,
Huge tyre clearence was one of the original points I was working to
