Good front triangle this time and good rear triangle too! Now for the fork... I have not yet decided what I think about the wishbone setup. I like the looks. Either a person does or they do not. The traditional method of attaching the stays to the ST lug is a level less of fit work. It is way easy to cut the transition from the bone casting to the ST lug too short. Which is what happened here. I would have liked the stay to reach the lug. I am working on designing a wishbone lug that does the same thing but spreads the load out more. This will be fine for this frame as the ST is a Verus and thick. The seatpost will carry the load. although the constant hammering will make a set that will bind over time. I think... First frame being sent into the wilderness. It is built for my wingman Hagen so it will be close so I can observe.

I too like the look of a wishbone. I think it is a cleaner look. Gives you a chance to show a little curve.
Thank you Robert, Yeah, I have always been a fan of the setup. something different and breaks the line a bit. Running stays is a bit easier because there is one less tube to cope and fit. only caps on the sides of the ST lug.
