EDIT 9/25 The frame is now up on aliexpress starting at about $615 shipped to US. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Denzel-Gross-M-Frame-Set/32434973925.html?spm=2114.01020208.3.2.yVBnyH&ws_ab_test=201526_3,201527_1_71_72_73_74_75,201409_3
I received my frame this week (below mid on page 3) and went over a few measurements. It's pretty decent, and raptor-esce.
Hey guys, I came across this frame and am in the process of getting final pricing.
The whole bike is supposed to weigh 77lbs w/around 40lbs of hub and battery
Frame is supposed to weight about 20lbs. I don't know if it's high tensile.
D/O 155mm
With 24" tires and full length tripleclamp fork as pictured, it looks to me like the rear travel could be lengthened thus raising BB to about 1" above wheel centerline (I was thinking that's optimal for 7in susp travel?), and taking a slack 61deg head to hopefully +65deg. (isn't 65 kinda a minimum?)
I've looked at pictures of some of the vectors, raptors, flux etc and this frame is different I think, based on bb height and headangle alone. Tell me if you think it'd be good?
My current new build is having issues running a 7" tripclamp fork while keeping the bb height close to the wheel centerline and headangle above 61deg- so this looks nice for a big travel bike, plus the frame obviously allows energy storage.
The other benefit of the frame is that a motor should be easy to mount under swingarm for a nice middirectdrive setup. I like my 1st build, but it'd be nice to have dedicated batteryspace, big travel, and a cost effective easily to duplicate setup.
Also please let me know if there's any thing I'm missing when shopping for a frame like this.
