Custom Frame Build

At this point Phil decided it would be a good time to explain how upward stretch has an affect on the overall length of the frame. The jig you see here is tilted at 15 degrees. For each of the additional 8 inches of upward stretch, the frame will grow 1/4-inch in length, due to the forward tilt. Since this frame was ordered with 5 inches of stretch added, the backbone will actually become 7 inches longer than stock to make up for the 2 inches it gained as the downtubes were stretched by 8 inches.
