456 Summer Season
456 Summer Season
456 Summer Season = Super Slack Steel Steed. Slacker head angle for pointing Long Travel Forks downhill. ISGC BB mount to keep that chain under control on Burms, Drops, Hucks, Air ETC...FAST
The Summer Season was designed in Mooch Cafe in Hebden Bridge... after a discussion about long travel fork : -
Now - 160mm forks on a hardtail? Well, it’s doable, but with that changing your effective head angle under hard braking by as much as 4degs, it might not be a good thing…
And so, the Summer Season frame came along. And from the sums I’ve done, with a 5in fork, it seems to sit at (and I’m really not making this up) 66.6degs.
Other details
We made it in plain gauge chromoly as it’s tougher in all sorts of ways - ie: dent resistance outside the pub, and impact strength too.
It’s disc only. You won’t want to run V’s on this frame.
Integral ISCG - International Standard Chain Guide (pre 05 standard)
It still has rack mounts (as I forgot to take them off).
Cable guides are under the top tube.
Normal vertical rear dropout.
