   I thought it was a XC race frame? Why does it have iscg mounts? And why the ugly boxy chain stays?

   **Is disappointed**

   29ers are wrong. But that looks right. Very right.

    Does that first pic mean there's going to be an aluminium 456?

    an aluminium 456?

    I suspect it's a long travel 29er frame - 26ers don't need the kinky seat tube.

    Thought you were against 29ers?

    That's something a previous designer left me that hasn't been continued, for now.

    Any plans to offer this as a full bike?
    

    
    Tom in "BikeBuildSpec" is working on it right now I'm sure.

    No not against, just didn't see the point until recently.

    Brant, whilst I have your attention I ride a 20" 26er Scandal, what size 29er should I get?

    19.5in probably.

    How tall are you. Perhaps your 20in Inbred is wrong.

    Hmmm looks very very nice but I'd also need to get new wheels, tyres, & forks to go with so for that reason...

    I'm out

    Me too, but there comes a time when it has to be done.

    One for the FAQ?? How does head angle compare with a 26" frame? 72 deg on a 29er is like a . . . . .

    Does it come with a headset reducer for 1 1/8 forks?

    Hmm. Carbon Kona Kilaeua 26er or Scandal 29er...?

    And no-one please remind me that I haven't ridden an MTB for nearly 18 months.....

    What sort of cable-guides will there be on the production frames?

    And what kind of drop-outs?

    Lookee nicee to me. Could be saving up the pennies in the NY for one of them. Looks nicer than the original to me for some reason.

    Just a thought Brant - is the Raw finsih simply polished alloy or is it lacquered?

    Posted 1 year ago #
32. Gary_M - Member

    and whilst you're here can't you do the dirty disco frame with mudguard/rack mounts. Would be in my basket in a jiffy if it had them.

    it does say 'Much more versatile than exclusively a cyclocross race frame, the Dirty Disco is also perfect for a huge range of applications including commuting and touring.' then No mudguard or rack mounts
    which doesn't really add up.

    will it be a scandium alloy?

    Posted 1 year ago #
34. shaggy - Member

    speaker2animals: it's anodized. I don't know how they do the finish but it looks good IRL.
    chunkypaul: its aluminium alloy, but scandium alloy is mostly aluminium anyway.
    Gary M: I think the point is that a true CX race bike will last a year, if you are lucky.
    Mike: I have "Brant's" proto now. If you are in LW tomorrow or the pump track thing you can have a look.

    But how can the dirty disco be capable of touring without rack mounts? Just seems an obvious omission.
