HI guys ,i have a BFE and have found i cannot fit the hammerschmidt due to the rear chain stay , so can anyone tell me what frame or frames they know that can take the H/S? As now it looks like ive got a BFE frame to sell 🙁

The Sov has a plate connecting the driveside chainstay to the BB area... I think the BFE just has a flaired chainstay.

Zoom in on the picture and you should see what I mean.

yes mate you are correct, that flare completely screws up the fitment so its time for a new frame. Shame as i missed out on a sovereign the other day on PB and wasnt too fussed until i tried to fit the H/S last night lol

Evil no longer make the Sov which is tragic, flipping great frame, they do come up occassionally though... what size would you want?

Medium I think as I'm around 5 10 to 5 11 with a 31 inside leg.

The Ragley frames have a similar chainstay to the Sov, but I don't know for sure if one fits...can do measurements though.
