"intend to use it for street trials, dirt jumping, single tracks, and a bit of touring." dose
Well, that's quite a spread of use. Like the person who wants to get a car that they will drive to work, do some plowing with and sometimes take in a track day. This from someone who has little clue as to frame design I have less surprise at this request, and then asking us to help provide what will only be a comprise in every type of use.
Who is doing the actual fabrication? have they experience in designing frames (I SURE hope they do...)? Have they offered any thoughts? Perhaps we are not reading into what is really wanted well, trials bikes don't go places and have no high gears (and much of the movements are hopping in place and lunging with a single pedal stroke). Is this what you meant by "street trials" (admittedly a term I don't see used by others)? Andy
