I enjoyed a couple of hours of singlespeedy fun in the sun this morning.
It still hasn't snapped, 9 years later 🙂

Brilliant! What set-up did you settle on with anglesets and fork lengths? 27.5+ isn't it?
I wasn't around for the original thread but just had a read through and a chuckle!
Did you end up back around the 62 unsagged HA? That with 450mm Reach and 445mm Chainstay make it about right for a modern aggressive hardtail, but 9 years early!
Also I feel like a "Ti Bikes, not Ti Brides" needs to become a riding club for men of a certain age deciding what to spend their time & money on.
I settled on 140 fork, no anglest. This gives 63 HA. It's on 27.5+ wheels.
It's a fun bike. I'm often tempted to sell and get another but 29er and with sliding drops. Seems excessive to end up in a similar place, and the frame will no doubt be worth peanuts to sell.
