Any idea what price the frame and carbon fork will be? Still sub £500?

Looks good Dom. HT looks very short - sure it will work with older RS tapered steerer suspension forks (72mm taper) - meaning HT needs to be greater than ~100mm (depending on whether zerostack or integrated)? Fox are 63mm so give you a bit more room to play, and I think the new RS forks are shorter taper as well. Anyhow - sure you've thought about all of this!

Yes, still aiming for a sub £500 retail. Tough because of all the expensive tubes! But doable I think.Posted 5 months ago # -

Thanks : ] This is one of the original med. p.type's which had 90mm HT's. This is what I think is ideal geometry wise, but for production I have increased HT's to: sml-95. med-110. lrg-125. 1. To increase weld area, as this frame is supposed to be ridden hard. 2. To accommodate longer tapers, although most of the new crop seem to have around 80mm taper, because fork makers have realised we want to get the HT's short for proper performance.
Thanks for your feedback, appreciated.Posted 5 months ago # -

Fork will be sold seperately. Prob around £200-250ish if bought on it's own. Still waiting for accurate pricing on it, but will be cheaper if bought with frame.Posted 5 months ago # -
