I have been begging for this for a while, but it looks like it may finally happen: Horizontal dropouts on the Zebdi frame. I am getting a prototype in 4 weeks (or so), then I have to test it to make sure it's not going to explode under trials use...I'll post pics when it comes through. What do you guys think? Did I just open a big can of worms here? The horizontal dropout is going to be the same one used on the splittail, where you can mount a derailleur to it and everything. Lance Trappe was riding trials/street/dj on a similar bike, this one is just going to have the Zebdi geometry with the same dropout as his bike. By the way, Match 5 is going to be out in March on DVD, there is some good stuff from Mike Steidley in it and hopefully a big segment in the bonus from Jaromir Spesny (plus the '03 Bike Battle stuff).

Kind of depends on the response and how well it actually holds up to my abuse. The frame that I'm getting does have the new geometry, it's just that the back end is different. _________________ www.matchvideozine.com Posted: Wed Feb 18, 2004 5:44 pm kid with bike Burner   Joined: Aug 1, 2003 Posts: 206 Location: Warwick, NY what is the chainstay length range with the horiz. dropouts?

And when is the ghost frame comming out? All those bikes look sweet.
