hardtail or dually?

remember a banshee amp is about the lightest DJ hardtail on the market atm at 4.4lbs, and its aluminium. apart from mine at 3.2lbs anyway lol, but there's no way you'd get away with riding SS on that little beast. i recon you'd lose your headtube real fast.

removable cable guides are zippy-ties. and dont even think about 3.5lbs, thats rediculously light, you'd snap it in half in three days...but if you really want that then it could be done. remember 5lbs is still a really light frame, but strong.
but i like the idea of 24" wheels on a slopestyler, iv been thinkin of makin one for myself for a while.

oh yeah how can you know the top tube length and not know the wheelbase? the "top tube length" means just about nothing in real life, seeing as it is completely dependent on the wheelbase and the seat angle.

ill take some guesswork outta it for ya- you want 1.5" x 0.9mm moly downtube and 1"x.5" x 0.9mm c/s, supertherm 0.9/0.6/0.9 toptube, double butted 27.2 supertherm seat tube, and 19mm oval butted seatstays. this will give you about a 5lb frame. and a fox36 will change your head angle from 70 to 67 degrees straight out.

easy as. ill sort that shit out- i can get 2.5" clearance on 385mm c/s no worries. these are about the only angles that make a difference to a freeride bike, so send me a list of these angles and measurements that you had in mind- c/s length, wheelbase, head angle- and ill tell you if you're on the right track.
