Happy to get shot down here, but is it meant to look like that? By that I mean the geometry looks a bit odd at the front; the rake / forks look too long.

I know that probably doesn't make any sense but it just doesn't look right :?

 

[bigdawg]

I think the short stem makes it looka bit odd, maybe thats whats doing it.. - what size frame is it..??

 

[the beaver]

yep the frames an 18 the comination of short stem and fairly high saddle make it look a tad odd i must admit, both post and stem will be black soon tho im also toying with the idea of fitting my RS psylos

 

[bigdawg]

whats the travel on the psylos??

 

[the beaver]

adjustable from 80mm to 120mm

 

[bigdawg]

ok, you prob know but dont run them anymore than 80mm that does upset the geometry.

Personally I think the old kona frame with 80mm forks is one of the best rides you can get... Singletrack beware!

Hmm, with sus at 120 I could understand it looking wonky but not with a set of P2s :? It's almost like they are too long for the frame which I know sounds stupid.

 

[bigdawg]

theyre not 'road' or later suspension adjusted P2s are they - whats the length of them??
