Hey guys.
After much work its done. Full credit to Jeremy for the use of his workshop and inhuman ninja welding skills. As far as a prototype goes its awesome, only issue is the length of the drop outs. (going to have to make a custom chaintug).
I have been testing it all weekend and will post a ride report when the hazy glow of "oh my god im riding a bike i designed" fades away. Until then enjoy the pics.

Thats right kiddies.. its BB pivoting Single speed jump rig.

weighs 14.6kgs full build.

looks beautiful, that BB pivot reminds me of the Kona Cowan DS.

The dropout looks pretty small, who cars! Your riding your own bike!

nice work it looks awesome, i dont think you should paint i like the raw look. Did it end up costing more than a similar frame(you dont have to answer).
You really did a sweat job on the welding it is smooth as.

Designing your own frame and getting it built is becoming the 'in thing' to do now days i think..

Top quality job there though mate! Love how you incorporated the BB pivot point <3

Keep it raw... for now... ;)

Wow, that thing is ruuuuuuude!

Looking very good.

Just wondering - I'd like a truthful opinion on how stiff the rear end is.

Otherwise, damn nice work!

that was my worry too matt. but in all seriousness its rock solid. I went to the skate park this morning to stress it a little, jumped and landed 90d a few times to see if would move much and did not notice it at all.

about to take it for light trail ride to give the rear end a work out. I'll let you know how it fairs.

You leg end!

I love it! Kudos to you for designing your own frame, something I'd definitely love to do one day.

That is fucking rad. Made my weekend. You should make a massive thread about the design and build stages of it. I'd be very interested to read it. If you willing to reveal your secrets that is.
