Back to the drawing board.Haha, I've been pondering the same top-tube stays idea for another Waltly frame. I'll look like a copy-cat now!
Look at the pic and then look at the words. He done that delibarartly.*seat stays.

The frame painters must love that.New GT Zaskar LT is out, quite odd looking rear chain stays but similar to their road bikes.
Yeah, the old ones weren't the easiest to paint either.The frame painters must love that.
Coincidentally, JG addressed this yesterday..I love the look of those fox 38 forks. But...but...butt...butts...why the fuck not go for the tried and true 20x110mm axle? I'm assuming the boost in size is aimed at increasing stiffness?
Please call it by its proper alliterated marketing name.Yeah, the old ones weren't the easiest to paint either.
So does that make this a rocker link stay?Look at the pic and then look at the words. He done that delibarartly.
News to me. What are the qualifiers?Yes, I think Chris Porter has a big thing about calling them "push stays" or "linkage stays" as for all full suspension bikes they don't meet the qualifiers to be called a seat stay.
Same reason you don't call the it a seat/chainstay on an Orange, it's just a swingarm.
This reminds me of the e-mtb/motorbike/moped argument. See reasonably civilized argument hereIn the strict sense of the word.
Full suspensions are a little different, and depending on the suspension layout won't have parts that are relative to this. For instance, Santa Cruz rear triangles, despite having struts that could be loosely aproximated as chainstays and seat stays, are in fact all one piece that would be described as a "rear triangle" or "rear swingarm" in the same way we describe an Orange's rear swingarm.
That being said, we use language to best describe the approximate part. You wouldn't say you cracked the "upper right strut of the rear swingarm"...you'd say you cracked your "right seat stay", because descriptively it makes sense even if there's no basis for it to be called that.
But, that's why I was making the semantic point of calling it a top-tube stay.
You know, now that I've had to explain the joke, it's killed it...and it really wasn't that good to begin with.
They would be nuts not to bring back a ball burnished polished finished on an alloy Zaskar.I do like the colour of the new Zaskar.
I think GT has got the colour scheme right over the last few years.
I don’t get it if I am to fast for 15mm or too slow for 20mm. 9 mm is fine, what about 12 on the back?what a load of shit. One standard would be nice for us non pros and I will keep pushing for it!
