[Closed] PVD Peter Verdones Red Five bike

Here's "my" 29er anyhow. Though I did it for Steve.

It has a 70.5deg seat angle too, but it's actually 72.5deg. Until he sits on it.

Oh - reach on hardtails - that's probably something worth discussing too at some point (they get longer when you sit on them, when suspension bikes don't. But don't tell Renton or he'll get even more confused.)

Then there's the whole 83mm BB, 157mm back end, which is something like Superboost, except we did it a year and a bit ago.

The seat tube angle is nowhere near as slack as the number on the drawing makes it sound. The head angle is super slack and way beyond anything I've ever used, not that there's anything wrong with that.... it looks interesting, the tyres are definitely narrower than I'd choose for that style of bike, but it seemingly has clearance for 27+ so I'd think can also fit wider than 2.1" 29er rubber.

So you used a perfectly serviceable existing standard to do what you wante, but didn't feel the need to slap yourself on the back and send out fifty press releases coining a new term for it?

You'll never succeed in th bike business with that atitude

He has that covered with a sagged geo chart. Its annoying when bike companies dont tell you if the chart is sagged or static, even more so when they dont tell you the fork length they have used.
