Long shot I know, but does anyone have a copy of the geometry for the above, the first 26 inch wheel Slackline they produced, large size. Thanks.

I had these written down in a file from when I was trying to compare my Slackline to others. This would be for the Slackline 631 but pretty sure nothing changed geo wise from the original 853 to the 631. Also can’t promise I didn’t write something down wrong (and no idea if angles are with the fork sagged or not – and if so what length fork)!

slackline 18″
stack 595
reach 408
virtual top tube 608
actual top tube 576
seat tube length 457
chainstay length 415
wheelbase 1071.5
BB drop 18
head tube length 120
front centre 656.5
HA 66.5
seat tube angle 72

Timmys – thank you so much! Very good bookkeeping.

As I thought it’s really pretty small!

Pet hate of mine when bike company’s remove all reference to past models from their website.

Psycorp – I totally agree. I also wrote to Stanton to enquire – no response, nada.

One of the reasons I like Surly – so much information both old and new on their pages.

People forget (or maybe never new) that the Slackline was originally designed to ride like a 4x bike that could pedal. This is why they are such a hoot to ride and why the dirt / wideopen lot loved them.
I love mine, but it does not match the current long/low/slack geometry and that’s a good thing IMO.

Geometry

Head angle 68 degrees
Seat angle 72 degrees
Head tube 1 1/8″
Seat tube length 16.5” and 18”
Seat tube internal dia 27.2mm, external 30mm
Top tube 22” on the 16.5” frame and 23 on the 18” frame
Chain stay length 16.3”
Bottom bracket height 12.4”
Frame weight, 16.5″ Slackline is 5lbs 6oz (2.43kg) and the 18″ Slackline is 5lbs 10oz (2.55kg)
All measurements are taken with a 140mm travel fork at 25% sag

Design

The Slackline is designed to fit a multitude of riding styles,

Hardtail D.H/Freeride (160mm fork)
4X/Slalom (120mm fork)
All mountain/single track, trail. (120mm-150mm fork)

Thanks again chaps. I just wanted to say that Stanton have now replied to my query with a very helpful email. Top chap Mr Stanton in my experience.
