PA 29'er, PA-LT and Mk3 Alpine will all have the Reynolds 631 XX44 headtube and dropper compatible seat tube. That's why this new Prince Albert frame is called Prince Albert Classic as it's the last Dialled Bikes frame that will feature a standard 1.125" head tube and 27.2mm seat post.
I've been busy behind the scenes working on new MTB frame designs and also launching my new BMX brand, Factory Team Bikes (FTB), which is why I don't get on here much these days and also why the Dialled Bikes website is out of date (it will be updated eventually).
This had been off my radar but would love one of these in blue - can't justify a swap though as the Orange 725 is just so good anyway. Even my initial thoughts of resprays seem a bit far off as the finish is standing up really well and I warmed to the colour.
Still, dropper posts and tapered head tubes eh.... tell me more about the PA LT please Mike.
Can I be the first to request powder blue with red decals and a better name than LT? Loath acronyms. Slacker perhaps?
When do we get to see some pics of this beast built up????
Give us a chance! Waiting for forks and wheel myself. Sounds like LoCo's going to have good finished pretty sharpish, though.
Wow how tall are you loco, this one look massive. And instead of doing stupid stuff with push bikes, get your bloody SRX 600 working (or sell me the camshaft for cheap 😉 )
PA long travel? Got to be the Shlong, surely ...
6' 3" ish so if anything the the 19.5" is a little on the small size, think I have a camshaft from one of the the 'spare' engines, however it'll need to be reground a bit as it's a touch pitted, let me know, Family are over in the Picardie region on a regular basis so could post it cheap too 😀
Not going to get it built (albert) until at least the end of next week) as too much proper work to do!
sure i'll mail you late during the day 😉
Just got mine completed ready for a test run at CRC Marathon @ Marshbrook tomorrow.

Looks awsome....what size is this one?
I thinking of changing from a charge blender to either one of these or a BFE...what's the difference between the new & old PA?
Ooooooh, is that a 15.5"er? 😛
Yep it's a 15.5"er.
winnerrr!
Looks ace, good work!
Aiming to be riding mine by next weekend. A selection of bits are converging on my desk from Portsmouth, Low Dalby, Gosport and Grafschaft.
nwill1 - Let me know if you sell the blender.
Nice looking bike - the dropouts aren't the most elegant though, are they? What's the reasoning for all that clutter?
So Mike, when can I preorder a PA29er?
Regards names for the Prince Albert LT,what about "Ampallang" or "Apadravya"
Keeps the reference to the original (look them up and you will see what I mean)
The name's are set now. Definitely gonna be PA-LT and PA-29'er.
Looking forward to seeing more builds of the Classics.

Good old thrash round Surrey Hills on Sunday; verdict = FUN.
Well done Mike for the frame, thank you LoCo for the fork advice.
I don't know how you post pics up but mine's stealth matte black with black rebas.
Blimin lovely frame. Just been looking at the Bmx frames 🙂

The tubing (853 instead of 725), slightly lighter weight, and slightly tweaked geometry (the 725's geometry was also designed around a sagged 130mm travel fork, and the 853's is designed around sagged 120mm forks). Not major differences, just a few refinements.
Just want to share my build all the way from the Philippines. Thanks mike for the fast shipment

Fully clear vinyl wrap along with custom decals (we'll be supplying the vinyl tape soon too, really thick and tough.
The forks are set at 130 at the moment and it feels ok for steeper stuff, but will try them at 120mm to get it a bit more flickable.
You can definatly feel the difference between the 520 gen. 2 frame, that this replaced and the 853, with it just feeling a bit more 'alive' from the off. 😀
Very nice.
Here is my PAC first build. I don't think much will change apart from maybe a dropper post. First ride out on it the other night was fun. Looking forward to a long fun relationship 😆

This photo taken the day I built it up, since changed the rims to arch EX's and trimmed the front hose, plus red lock jaw clamps-little bits matter!
Nice retro RockShox stickers Gordy 😀
