Just took a look at the frames you made, your welds look much better than mine haha. I was planning to make another single pivot frame this winter, shorter travel dual slalom/ dirt jump bike. Similar idea to what your downhill bikes were with a single swingarm mounted to the down tube. Any extra considerations when mounting the swingarm at one point to avoid making a floppy noodle bike?

Sick frame build, and I particularly love the action shot of the bike getting used in anger.

I was honestly thinking of downsizing the top tube. I used 1.5"x.049" for the entire front triangle for simplicity which is quite burly. Why the bigger tube?

Thanks! I was able to use the bottom 10 gears, I think you could get all with some modifications.
