Hey really really digging the frame in the lower pic .. Ive used my googlefu/tineyefu to no avail .. seems the guy who bought it oly knows its a "one-off" hardtail

Im at the point finally after a long and not so cold winter that I have the cash to dump on a hardtail fucking sick right? lol either way Im excited ..

so If I were to ask for these dimensions would you go with 2/4 or 3/6 ?

I have a 2" drop, 4" stretch Bird tail on mine - that looks lower and longer. It's hard to tell with the front suspension compressed, but I'd say go with the 3/6...

Looks like 4" stretch. I just cut off a hardtail with a 6" stretch, it looked stupid. Looks like 4" drop, xs sits way high. It also looks like a 2" backbone stretch ans 0 downtubes.

bumping for some imput on this bike .. is it a 21inch front .. how much you guys thing the forks are dropped (image with dude on the bike)

On a stock bike there is about 6.5 inches between the upper and lower trees. There is about 6 inches between the lower tree and the top of the fork lower. As measured on my bikes. In the pic if you compare the distance between the trees to the distance fromthe lower tree to the top of the fork lower you can see that the fork was lowered about 3 or 4 inches.
