Baby’s first time standing on her own in her new shoes!!
Welp - been a minute since I’ve posted - but got hung up in some other things and had a longer than anticipated wait on some things related to the bike.
Got the frame back from the fab shop today. They fabricated and welded on a seat pan - cross braces for the Tuffside seat - and spacers between the pan and seat - as well as the rear hoop. I’m very pleased with the work from Urban East over in Lorton, VA on the frame. Great guys - check em out if you are in the DC Metro area.
Also - dry fit the Progressive suspension 490 series shocks - and finally got to see the stance - which is exactly what I was going for.
Pondering using the Cognito swing arm extenders - but - kind of like how it sits for now. The extenders would allow to run a wider rear tire - and extend the wheelbase - but again - not sure I will go that route at the moment. And liking the 120 up front and 130 in the rear look to be honest (could get up to a 160 by extending the swing arm).
So - let’s call it progress.

Hi matty,
about the tire width, no matter what's done to the swingarm, you can only run a wider than 5" tire if you offset the rear wheel to allow the sprockets to line up.
