In about 6 wks, by about Dec 10, we'll have 20 total/6 sizes UP TO 59cm of the Frank Jones Sr, a singlespeed frame designed for Blue Lug, our Tokyo dealer. We made 20 extras for us. • seat lug (new socket style, but made for 3-deg upslope) and head lugs (custom style) • fillet-braed bb • 28.6mm min triangle tubes (seat and top tbes usually are, but for FRANK, the downtube is, too). • clears 38mm tire. clears 33.333 w/fender (as long as feners are not aluminum) • 120 rear spacing, new rear dropouts---track style...two eyes for rak & fendr. No der tab. Angle like Quickbeam's, long, too. * brake reach is 59mm (necessary for 38mm tire). Brake options? Tektro 559, Paul or Compass centerpull, or new Dia-Compe 610 centerpull (not out yet) • stay & fork rack mounts
Sizes and QTY we're getting: 53cm (7) 55cm (5) 57cm (6) 59cm (7) The frames are designed to be comfortable fits with drop bars, but it's more of a classic fit than a RIVFIT 2017.8. In our experience, any drop-bar bike can take an Albatross bar easily,,,so FRANK can, too. Sizing by PBH: Mark's PBH is 82 and he'd ride a 53. Mine's 85 and I'm getting a 59 that I wish was a 58. This is a paved-road, light-load singlespeed frame, not a "Manny bike" ! More info will follow. It's going to cost about $1,400 for frame-fork-hs-seat post (27.2) G On Friday, October 20, 2017 at 5:11:17 AM UTC-7, Eric Daume wrote: > > If you're looking at QB alternatives, the Cross Check is a better fit > (wider tires fit, canti brakes, lots of braze ons). > > You could also look at the Black Mountain Cycles Monstercross.
