plenty of props on this build ... that is a very nice hardtail .. i have a bird hardtail but we cut the gusset area out and extended the back tube and moved the bottom cross brace .. keep up the great work!!!

Very nice!

One thing I hate about 90% of the XS hardtails I've seen is that the seat mount area is way wider than the front of the seat. Makes the seat look like an after thought that didnt work out correctly. Looks like yours wont have that look, or at least no where near as bad.

Wasnt there a web-shop that was offering extended backbone hardtails, guess it didnt catch on.

Anyway, nice build!

Loks ok but the crappy way the lower part of the tail is welded to the frame. Should have cut frame off square, Use plugs to weld straight into the frame. Not just a lap weld.

I was wondering about the progress on this bike. I dig it, it reminds me of my old school looptail diamondback.

Love it!

I have to admit at the beginning of the build it was tough to envisage just how it would turn out, however, now that you're in final mock up stage it's fantastic!


Cheers

Wow! That tail has a great oem look to it. It really compliments the pipe curves and the shape of the stock frame.

Is that a tractor seat?

Kudos for the cantelever.
