Nice

Technically there is no such thing as a medium Hei Hei frame, just specific sizes in inches. The size will be displayed on the underside of the bottom bracket along with the frame number

My frame has no cantilever studs/bolts and metal plate? that coincides with mounting of rear brakes....can you enlighten me and explain what I have been told I'm in need of?.....the studs/bolts are kind of self explanatory ( unless there special to the frame) but the metal plate has me scratching my head. If you have pics that would help and you could PM if choose......thanks

What do you mean “metal plate” ?

 

[Oldskool26er]

Your right...that was my initial response to the metal plates.... obviously I was misinformed. Looking to go with a set of Marzocchi XC500 forks with my build....you wouldn't happen to have set?
