    That frame has some very nice styling lines. I like it!
    Good call on going with Sheep. :clap: A while back, I was considering having them build a frame for me.

    Question...I see what appears to be a couple set bolts on the bottom of the chainstays. Do you loosen those bolts and slide both chainstays out to get the belt in? How far do the stays go into the mating sleeve? Could you post some close-up pics of that? I'd also like to see how much clearance there is between the tire and lower chainstays/bottom bracket from the bottom.

    You nailed it lee telescoping Chain Stays to adjust belt tension as well as provide an opening to insert the belt into the frame.

    I will take some additional pics over the weekend

    Very nice bike Jeff, I like it better than the Jones.

    I have one question though, why not a SS specific rear hub?

    Good call and I thought about this a lot. My gaol fro this bike is to keep it for quite a long time. and that being said if the day comes that my body says no more SS one quick trip back to James for some guides and a hanger BOOM 1X9:beer:

    Just keeping my options open to more than 1X6 or internal

    No I just explained where I wanted my hands and what stem/bar combo I was running. He took his MM bar and mounted it the same size stem to create a sort of mold for the one piece unit.

    tuesday towards the end of the day.....i was standing on a climb towards the back of the park (i don't know the names?) you were standing up hammering the climb....you could tell how light the bike is by the way it was moving under you on the climb.

    that thing really is eye catching, like some crazy custom car that is super clean at a car show.
