You're correct. I pulled the dimensions off my Easy Racer "Tour Easy" for the front part of my frame. I designed the tail-end to be as beefy as possible. Its over engineered to a point where the rear end is almost as rigid/bomb proof as a BMX bicycle. The ride characters are completely attributable though to Easy Racer's great design. Since this satisfied my itch to experience building my own Ti bicycle, I have to give credit where credit is due as I consider it to be a clone, even with my unique design elements/twist to the rear triangle and tube diameter/thickness selection.
