Same results here. Scaled pic to the 782 dimension and the others seemed right.

Other specs I got after scaling drawing:

Frame Stack: 669
Frame Reach: 327
Wheelbase: 1002
BB Drop: 80
Chainstays: 440

Seems ready for some serious gravel on paper, @UnfilteredDregs

OMG, forgot about rake (crucial for figuring flop). I'm getting damn near 50mm of rake.

Wow, it must be getting boring as spit outside in the greater 41, we got all sorts of unusual visitors dropping by to say hello.

Hey fellas, we're not serving any drinks until after hours when the bars close and the forum Admins are asleep. :thumb:

Oh, a math genius!

Everyone here maths good.

I noticed that. Lots of really random newbies posting in threads.

Speaking of the greater 41, what the heck happened in that work stand thread? Simple question, simple answers based on personal experience, now everyone wants to kill each other. Then again, sounds like typical 41 behavior.

Has anyone else mentioned this yet? Why the hell is the top of the bars level with the saddle?

The 734mm and 401mm seem to be to scale so I assume the rest is to scale which makes that headtube about 200mm long and JoeJack puts the top tube at 523mm. If that is a correct fit (which I'd be surprised if it was) for a road bike then your going to need a serious amount of up angle on the stem.

A Trek H2 fit for example with an effective top tube of 521mm is a size 50 and that has a headtube of only 130mm so you'd need to find another 70mm (nearly 3 inches) somewhere either in the steerer tube or up angled stem or both.

Thanks for that...yup, long legs, short torso..

Mucho Gracias.

Yes. We love it because it is the delicious pain we deserve so much. The only reason the triathletes and TT people are on the trainer is that they haven't learned that running is even better.

What, is this a dry thread suddenly? It's half past mudslide time.

I met a guy today who works for countervail. Apparently they design an elastomer that makes carbon fiber more resilient and absorb shock better. We talked bikes for a few minutes, he said Bianchi has had good results with their tech. Apparently also useful in tennis racquets. Pretty cool stuff.

Srsly.

On another note...I don't know how you folks deal with tubes. 4 flats for me in the last two weeks, all annoying pinhole punctures.

Death by 1000 ******.

I'm so going back to tubeless...

Hey UD we need to compare measurements sometime. Who designed the bike??

i could use a drink, its been a while and ive had a rough week

:roflmao2:

Agreed. In general such plastics additives will degrade stiffness so their use is not without issues. A common approach with such materials is to use them in combination with the stiffest types of carbon and resins which would be too brittle if used without the modifier. Often the combination of too brittle and too ductile is, on balance, more attractive than a single, in-between material by itself.

dude. family forum.

Is it the same problem over and over?

I'm sure geo is going to change relative to the contact points... It's going to be an all-road monsta bike. Definte gravel machine at its core. I'm HOOKED on that stuff.

I'm having some long discussions with Mr. Rosko, the gent building my frame:

Rosko

Nah...just garden variety wee little punctures. Various locations. Rim & tire are clean... I bombed a trail today and definitely walloped the tires a few times.

After a crappy trainer ride this AM, I decided to treat myself to an easy fun ride and did some geocache hunting.

It appears that Andy Griffith is alive and well and practicing law in Groveland, IL

He's getting a custom frame built for a good reason. There's nothing off the shelf even close to those proportions. And not everyone is looking for a big saddle to bar drop even on the road.

The angles on the Trek 50cm are likely so far off that the fit wouldn't work out even if he could find a long enough seatpost and tall enough stem.

Also, during my travels, I saw this plate which kind of puzzles me.

It ain't designed, yet...that's just contact points. I'm sitting down next week with my builder.We've been passing the design idea back and forth for a bit...next is beers and shooting the ****.
