That's awesome man, take the proverbial bull by the horns, and get the exact bicycle you want dammit! That's what I would do if I could, nothing is ever exactly what you want unless YOU do it.

This might just be my favorite bike on Vital. Awesome work!

How is the slack in the chain taken care of for both chains? Sliders in the back? Eccentric BB?

thanks a lot
vertical dropout for the 2nd chain, and eye to eye claculation to fir the 1rst chain ( no tensioner)

its beautiful. but i dont understand it. is it just pure singlespeed? does that crazy linkage mean neither chain experiences growth?

yes, pure singlespeed. double chain means no chain length variation due to the suspension (even for a 220mm travel frame). and have a nice "virtual pivot point" wheel path. quiet as hell and so smooth to ride-

@primoz

It is a unique suspension design which would alow you to go even shorter (what wouldent make sense on a size L DH or freerider)

200 mm of travel on a 29" with 435 mm chainstays will be a challenge i think. A 1230 mm wheelbase should be impossible i'd say, the current Reign has the same chainstays (a 27,5" bike), 160 mm of travel, 65° HA and has almost as long or a longer wheelbase in L and XL sizes.

Granted, you are thinking about a high pivot, but the wheel itself will have a radius of 380-ish mm, if not more, the crank axle itself is either 24 or 30 mm in diameter, so you're pushing 400-ish mm just in that, plus the BB cups and all, then the frame itself, the links, etc. 435 mm chainstay on a 29" bike is quite a challenge i'd say.

Give me all the geometry variables that you'd like (reach and stack, BB drop, etc.) and i might be able to tell you the wheelbase. But judging on the GeoMetron bikes, it should be closer to 1300 mm than 1200 mm.
