Crank forward number 3 revision A



Crank forward number 3 was a very comfortable cruiser bike but the wheelbase, at 53", was a bit long and the front end a bit heavy for off roading and curb jumping. I decided to copy the geometry of the back portion of my first CF bike and drop 2" from the rear triangle length giving a new wheelbase of 51".

The result was very satifactory and the bike handles very nicely. I can stand up on it pretty good for hill climbing. Note the rear brake yoke cable routing due to lack of clearance behind seat post.
