I did the geometery. I had a local friend by the name of Thomas Hosford design the frame and build it. He's a super skilled guy. He prototypes frames for AtomLab and has built quite a few for local riders.

I thought about it, but I had it clear coated. I had some pretty cool schemes in mind. The welds on it are beautiful, skillful and artful. And after having enough people who knew what they were looking at complement the welder, I just had to leave them visible.

I love it. It's a surprisingly stiff fork for its weight. I designed the geo. around having it on there, so I have a higher front end so that I can actually bunny hop the bike. I've always had problems, as most people do, wiht actually bunny hopping a full on stock bike. I have such a weird, odd and demented style that this bike works for me. Every street rider (26" & 20") just doesn't know what to do with the rear end and high BB. And every trials rider is thrown off because of the front end being high and pretty short. So far I'm the only person I've seen ride really well on it. But that's why I drew it the way I did.
