New Frame. Let's see what happens

I’ve had 3 of those totals. They’re actually nice. Helped with hop whips. At least landing back on the cranks instead of my foot clipping the seat as much. I hate tall standovers they feel awful.

I got that lax STangle on lock!

It's a bit lower than what I want (8.25) but I got it mostly to see how much of a difference on TT length feel it would make. Also the hop whip thing. I haven't landed one yet but I found when I went from an 8.25 to a 9.25 my foot kept snagging the seat and also my shin would hit the tt when doing foot jams or tables.

I didnt factor that in when ordering unfortunately. had I gone with the 21" I think I'd still be on it. Sad that one little thing can ruin such a good ride. I really liked that frame lol

No Sorry you're wrong, the Soulja is the perfect frame

I’m on 7.8 right now. The total was pretty low. I hate trying to hop whip a high seat. I like my seat low and out of the way lol but I’m not very tall.

I was looking into the Hangover as well, but ended up with my Eastern. I love short standovers, mine's 7.4".

Buy mine! I really liked it but the bb felt wonky for exactly what I do and combine that with a 13" rear it felt a little weird on airs and big ramps. Loved everything else about it though.

The verdict is in. She's pure butter. Im staying with this frame. A real beauty too. Stands out more than I like for riding a park frame at a plaza but the ride is what I'm after.
Airs like a dream, so easy to control and doesnt feel like it's running away with you.
Manuals, locks spins and grinds, twists, does everything way smoother. Yesterday I rode a backwards nose for farther.than I ever had before and pulled a dip 360 no sweat, both nbd for me.
The low SO really does make foot jams easier and you can stay in them longer for some reason. I seriously think that's why Alex made it so low because all that guy does is foot jam. Heres a couple pics.

Very nice. I love mine. Perfect geo. Went through a shit ton of different geo throughout the years same as you and came to

That's sweet. We're looking for almost the same geos to a t.
I prefer the look of an 8.25 but this one feels great.
75.25 all day on the head tube, I've done 75.5 3 times and felt cheated each time.
71 ST just because I know how it feels. I honestly prefer the look of a laid back one but I can never seem to dial in the tt conversion and end up with a longer or shorter feel than I expected.
20.7 feels like its stretching it but I never think about it when I'm on a 20.6.
11.5/6 is comfy enough.
12.9 on the backend feels perfect. ?
What do u ride mostly? I'm basic street/plaza style stuff.
