Hey man nice bike. I’m 6’7″ and just picked up my first XS. I was kind of skeptical about if I’m going to fit so I was just wondering how much stretch your frame has in it to give me an idea of about how much I need. and if you planned on taking any pics of you on the bike so I can see how scrunched up guys our size look on these things.

Teebs, thanks for the compliment. I originally thought I would’ve had to stretch this thing like crazy, but I brought the rear back about 10 inches and it’s perfect for me.

The front end, yes I agree. I love some rake in my bikes. But honestly, I’ve got one now that’s raked and I simply wanted this one to be more nimble. (as nimble as a 250 tire can be I guess)

Paint, oh yes… paint is what I do best. As soon as this thing proves it’s worth on the road, it will be blessed with a new chemical wardrobe.

First; beautiful frame. I’m surprised with your height you didn’t go for a little more stretch in the tail, was this just an aesthetic choice?

I would have loved to see this with some stretch to the forks, like a 4 or 6 over would have been awesome.

Are you going to add some color to break up all of that blue?

This is going to be a sweet ride. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
