Here is pic of full frame as requested it's a bit rough but sound under the shit powder coat job



Thanks for the help guys  :daumenhoch:

I dont know much about PKs, but from reading some of the stuff General Lee has written about his frames, I think the first non loop tailed frame was the "straight stay" one, which had ..... well .... straight chainstays. I guess there was a problem with crank clearance on the straight stay ones, so they then changed to the curved chainstay like that one.
