Gotta admire you for having the stones to break away. Change can be daunting, so I’m wishing you the best of luck, and look forward to seeing more products from you soon.
Just seen the frame pics on BikeMagic, what’s the threaded insert for on the LH chainstay? I’m guessing it will clamp a hose or cable outer for the rear brake?
I like the web connecting the seat stays and I love the plate on the drive side chain stay. It reminders me of the old Manitou hard tail and my fonbly remembered 1998 Fisher. Not convinced about the chain stay bridge arrangement. Could you use a slopping web/plate instead that would make the seat stay web look more at home and get rid of a few stress risers where the plate splits. Have the slotted plates been fatigue tested?, I just wishing I was a bike designer.
