Product Description:
This chassis features small-diameter straight-gauge 4130 chromoly tubing with an externally butted seat mast, butted and tapered rear stays and a CNC-machined 4130 chromoly head tube for integrated headsets. Braze-ons include removable T/T cable guide/stops leading to a set of removable U-brake bosses on the underside of the seatstays, plus the standard battery of hydro cable guides leading to the rear disk caliper mounts on the left rear dropout. Said dropouts are laser-cut 6mm 4130 chromoly. The weight of the frame only is 2.69k/5.8 lb. This is a laudible accomplishment for a full-featured rigid freeride MTB frame.
In a nod to SNAFU's freestyle roots, the Crenshaw Project frame also features removable cable stops on the head tube for setting the bike up with a cable detangler. This is in fact how the Crenshaw complete bike comes stock, and SNAFU's C-lever, Mobeus detanlger and UDJ-specific top and bottom AstroGlide cables control the Tektro Lyra mechanical rear disk brake. The SNAFU Crenshaw is the first complete UDJ MTB to come equipped with proven SNAFU freestyle brake accessories, and this spec makes the Crenshaw superbly well suited for progressive trail and street riding.
No conversation about handling and performance would be complete without mentioning geometry. The Crenshaw Project frame measures up as follows: FRAME GEOMETRY T/T length - 22.5" H/T angle = 72° S/M angle = 72° BB height (center to ground with 457mm long/3" travel fork) = 12.75" Chainstay length (center to center) = 15.5" Wheelbase = 40.125" Additional Information: FRAME: 100% 4130 chromoly with machined H/T for integrated headset, tapered stays, 6mm 4130 dropouts, brazed-on housing guides and T/T cable stops; removable U-brake bosses TT LENGTH: 22.5" C/S LENGTH: 15.5" center to center HEAD ANGLE: 71° AXLE TO FORK RACE SEAT MEASUREMENT: 460mm SEAT ANGLE: 71° FRAME WEIGHT: 5.15 lb.
