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.

yeah thats more the idea. need some chainstay/seatstay bridges on it tho or it'll snap lol. model it with your suspension program and you'll see you also need to change the shock position a little but other than that, good stuff.

im goin away all weekend for the state DH champs, but PM me your email and ill send you my DJ frame file for linkage and you can have a play with that. a linkage bike like you're designing would cost over 1800 for the CNC work and crap.
