i just discovered today

[RyanMcVicker]

that there is a huge crack in my frame on my chainstay.. its cracked half way through the cnc part by the bottom bracket on the driveside... now iam going to have to look for a new frame.. what should i get? i want something with not much bb rise if any.. and horizontal dropouts so i dont have to deal with hangers... so far ive thought about the bt 7 any others?

[eturt9]

I think the mbk looks awesome and horz drops.

ask Macbeth about the raven

[firewrx612]

The built in tensioner system on the BT 7 is the ballz. :Sonic: It's a great frame otherwise too.

I have a BT on order from Midwestbiketrials. I am pumped. Order one.

BT 7.0..............

Don't even think about the deng frames with horz. drop outs.

The black T1000 by MBK?

It may be spendy, but I'd roll it.

[RomanC]

you should roll jamesb style on a simtra

[jackflash]

simtra's nice, i find its a little too long, but then im 5'9" and like a shorter streety bike. ive got the raven 7.0, its a sick bike. balances super steady, flickable, does pretty much everything real well except taps. plus the dropouts are sick

the mbk looks pretty nice, sounds a little long to me plus the high bb. i doubt the tensionners would work as well as the bt, but its probably worth a shot

cant start a fire you cant start a fire without a spark

[RyanMcVicker]

the only thing about the bt7 is.. id be running 18-15.. and i guess my wheelbase would be 1070 with that ratio.. im 6'4 do you think thats too small?

[tzimon]

Depends on what you like. Have you ridden other setups before? I'm 6'3 and don't mind a 1070ish. 1100 is a bit too long for me.. it just feels lanky and piggish at the same time somehow. 1080 has always seemed just about right. A little bb rise and I could be happy with something a little longer I think. I kind of miss my old Zoo Pitbull that was 1070 with 20mm up. Fun bike... shame it was like riding pedalling a wet noodle though.

i have an old echo fixed hub with a Quick release.. would i be able to use it with the bt 7.0?
