Re:

Unfortunately current technology (as in new sus-forks) requires the oversize and tapered head tube, and sus-corrected geometry.

Certainly would look better with a lower and skinnier head tube. Would be nice if they had that option.

It looked quite good in the reveal shots they released yesterday. Now I've seen it in full I take my statement back.

Feel a bit sorry for those who had vouched $5000.

The head tube in the pic with the fireproof boxes looks OK. Given that most folk seem to want the rigid forks maybe he should offer a 1 1/8" head tube just for them, and 44mm for bouncers.
Chainstays look good!
We need pics with bouncy forks. I think it could look OK, and the proof of the pudding ...
What exactly was everyone expecting?

Re:

its not the end of the world, just guts me when given the faith he had the chance to do a lot better. FAT CHANCE it seems.

To think, I could have the first pic but ended up with the second.... :facepalm:

Re:

I'm not buying one and in no way a FAT fan.

But the rigid forks look shite, rest of the frame looks fine just like any other. You can't see any detail to see if any 'fat' features have been kept. (Bullet tip dropout for example)

Why not design the fork to move with the technology is well and use and design a wider cool looking crown with a tapered steerer? Would look much better.

Still it's a first attempt, many more to go hopefully.
