I was curious if anyone knew if this frame geometry was correct. I have been gathering a lot of info this past 18 months for a Sporty frame swap and love the look of this bike.
I know, I know... Ask the builder. So initially, I reached out to Paughco to see if they had any idea which frame they used during the build. Paughco came back and explained they could not make a definitive guess unless I provided the VIN number. Seeing as that is unrealistic, I searched for the builder or owner in to ask the question.
Eventually, I found the owner, complimented the bike of course, and asked which Paughco frame was used. He said, "stock rake, no stretch." I sent over a picture of the Paughco frame styles with the S120E highlighted and he confirmed that was the one. I was appreciative of the feedback but do wonder if this is the S120E frame (30 deg rake) or if it is maybe the S120EA (35 deg rake). I do not mean to question the owner but after viewing some other 30 deg Paughco builds this bike looks a bit more raked with the 4" extended tubes, Am I wrong?
I appreciate any insight you may provide. I am debating between the 30 Deg and 35 Deg Paughco frame so I appreciate any advice or examples you may share.
