One of my friends had a Barcode. I distinctly remember dropping into a quarter pipe on it and being surprised by how much stiffer than my non-wishbone frame it was.
Oh yeah, best feeling, makes the frame feel secure and trustworthy, no doubt.
The cutouts look terrible on the stays and not a fan of the seatclamps. He can do standard seat tubes w/o a clamp
That was the only thing the builder was willing to do. Probably because there's no welding required so it's quick and easy.
If your frame isn't breaking on you, isn't it strong as it needs to be?
Over the last 30 odd years I have seen every style of frame crack.
Personally I don't like a super stiff rear end. Hurts too much. Now, that don't mean I like flexy ass frames.
That's not really what I'm talking about on here but like I said in my original post, tube ss/cs vs plate ss/cs and wish bone etc, and the fact that I couldn't get what I wanted done on the frame is what bothered me.
Fair enough everyone to their own, I dig the solid rear end's personally.
T1 builds rule.
You Sir are correct, now If only I could have gotten my hands on one.
