Really like these square backs. Never noticed the seat clamp area before how it tapers down, is that standard ?

@ Kungfunky, yes it was mate...
@ Fischflo, cheers man. Once this is built i'll be after these two's Big brother 'The Schwerma Champion'.
@ Stidds, thanks dude coming from you that's a compliment mate.

don't know anything about them but that looks one funky frame and forks! love it :daumenhoch:

These are an interesting Frame. :)
Was the extra bar to stop flexing :-\

As far as i know yes, and to add extra strength.
The middle bar goes through the bottom bar and into the head tube.
