you mean ones like THESE

seen those but they dont really show much.

Some info up on the [url= http://www.shedfire.com/ ]Shedfire site[/url].

Well, the stays are certainly unconventional. Good to see people willing to try new things. Brant - is the bend just to give space for the caliper to mount to the chainstay then?

that looks great 😉 anyone want my old one lol

"stiffer dropouts"

I NEED those, dropout flex is the bane of my life 😉

I really like that - I guess the 44mm headtube thing gives all the functionality of all the other headset sizes without looking like having a mug stuck the front of your bike.

Hmm, I'm sure I've seen seat stays like that somewhere before...

Bleugh....

Proof is in the riding though.

also, what other colour schemes?

Yeah, stays are similar to the ones 18bikes offer on their custom frames.

All in all, lots of good things that have appeared on custom or small run bikes before, it's the combination of them all, in a fairly volume product that's nice.

44mm headtubes on production steel frames a very good move indeed.

So Brant - how much weight have you managed to lose off the Blue Pig?

Yeah, stays are similar to the ones 18bikes offer on their custom frames

so, this talk of new headsets then- the pig et al are going to have what looks externally to be a similar diameter to 1.125 headtubes, but will use a(nother!!!!) headset standard to enable use of tapered (and 1.5"?) forks.
So is the same as, and backward compatible with zero stack?

And OS Bikes Blackbuck before that...

Nah, they're quite different; constant radius bent stays a bit like a Retrotec.

it looks like a 1980's Hutch freestyler or a DP Firebird..............and bloody awful.
