Mmmmmm still a 575….

Well the Sukuma appears to be far too… gauche for some of the more discerning members on here, so how about the Pivot Mach 5.7?

i give in whats the answer

and as for previous threads picking a bike based solely on angles and numbers will not lead to happiness

Slack long travel and short wheelbase

Mmmmm wheel toe interface or taller than the empire state.

Would want a long wheel base really – ideally 45″+

Ibis Ripley

Nicolai Helius AC or the AM fit both those bills.

OP drop me an email (address is in my profile). Rather sadly I have a spreadsheet where I’ve been collecting this kind of data and have it laid out against bike make and model.

Bikescene have a Stumpjumper EVO frame for 699 however its XL.

30.9 or 31.6 seat tube 30.9
66 or 67 degree head angle 68.5
71 ish seat angle 72
140 or 150mm front travel 150mm
43″ plus wheel base 44.75″ in large

Low BB at 13.5″

Looks like apart from the standover and 1 degree at the head angle the FTM carbon is pretty spot on – HMMMM
Any way to slacken it

Try contacting works components?

They can’t do anything as the frame is the headset cup

Rob,

I’ve successfully slackened my FTM by 1.5 degrees using a beautifully made (therefore expensive) custom off-set headset that presses into frame very securely. Sadly, I only rode it once before noticing an unrelated crack in the frame. Have to send it to on-one now (from Australia) for warranty – urgh.

Anyway – PM me if this interests you.

I can’t count the amount of times I’ve ridden a bike and all I could think of was “I wish this head angle was 2 degrees slacker”
