Title: 69 degree seat tube angle and seat/post types
Post by: bluebmx on December 16, 2014, 08:49:39 AM
Ok here's the deal. Unless I get enough money for a custom, next time i need a frame I'm getting a benny l frame. its the closest i can get to custom for me. I had a frame with a 69 degree seat tube angle before and it put my pivotal seat in a weird position. it was either way too cranked back or so flat forward that it looked pretty off. I was curious if anyone had a picture of a tripod seat set up on a frame with a 69 degree seat tube angle so I can see if that works better with it. Thanks.

I had a benny l with a pivotal and it wasn't bad (http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu132/bmxican95/Mobile%20Uploads/downsized_0624111616.jpg)

yep! if the benny l had a 11.5bb it would be ideal. Also I've become accostumed to a 75.5ha, which makes my options less. I'm sure I could adapt to a 75 again but after this long I rather keep with what I know works for me already.

I was gonna say that cult sos frame was pretty close sans the 8.65 standover and the whole being a cult thing.
