Mrsstu has treated herself to a new frame.
Built up with bits off her old singlespeed, a spare fork from her Gnarpoon™ and a few bits that I've donated.
Turned out quite nice. 🙂

I love the idea that variable seat height trumps gears....

I don't single speed but I'd take dropper post over gears!

Not sure what that means.
It's all bikes, just like it always has been.

Gears are not as important as control. 🙂

I'm dissapointed about the lack of messy garden posts. 😥

How boingy/comfy do the bent stays make it?
What length are the chain stays?
Was it from overspoke?

No idea. It's not [b]my[/b] bike so i've not been on it yet. Other than to make sure everything works and take a couple of pictures.

412.75mm-429.3mm and it still fits a 2.4 tyre and front gear mech when the wheel is all the way forward. With 32-19 on it's about 4mm back from the shortest position.

Yes. He's got some nice kit in there now and seems a nice guy.
