Seshin Megatron
*** SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW PHOTOS***
Just built this up on New Years Eve:
Its a Seshin Megatron, with a 21.5" top tube, 13.65" rear end, 74.5° HT. Black Pearl with 8 clear coats.
I threw it together with most of the parts from my blue Macneil. Argyle Dirt Forks, FSA Orbit headset, Animal Stem, Macneil 9-Butted bars, 14mm Hazard hubs, 48H Hazard lite wheels, 33/12 LSD gearing, Fly Suelo brakes etc.
So far It feels REALLY responsive compared to my old frame, which was slightly bigger overall.
Its going to take a few good sessions to adapt to this short rear end though.
I absolutely cannot wait to take this thing to the skatepark to see how it feels.

I painted the Argyle on my Dirt forks last year, when they were on a blue bike. Not sure what I'll do with this new black colour scheme..
...and Fly's Suelo brake is their non-angled front brake. Still forged/machined lightweight goodness.

Seat clamp sticks out a bit? I'll buy a new one when this one strips.
..the saddle is an old hard foam Specialized MTB model. Its a bit ripped, but the rails are still straight.
Edit: Just picked up a brand new Odyssey Sr. Kevlar, for $15!!! It looks tiny compared to the old one.

Okay, so I replaced the big Specialized saddle with the Ody Sr.
However, it looked really out of place when run so high (ass hatchet anyone?).. so I had to lower it.

Not a scuff on it, and the rails still had black paint on them.
Are you referring to the excess material stapled under the nose of the saddle?
