The spindle's 20mm, but Pete'll have to measure the frame rails.
I visited his vast fabrication workshop this evening for a consultation on my XS build.
"This alright?"
"Yup".
"Seeya".
I've got a good idea of what I want the bike to look like, but want to give Pete enough freedom to put his own mark on it.
Can't wait to see the results.

Pete's little bro Ryan's taken up pinstriping & has tried a spot of hotrod flaming on the XS's original fuel tank.

An update from Pete.
I wanted to build the hardtail from 1 inch bore ERW -the same stuff we build our trike frames from. Some thought that'd look too heavy, but I think it works. After another quick consultation with the customer, (that's me), Pete's taken 1 1/2" out of the length of the bottom tubes & bent the top seat tubes.
I likes it.

I didn't measure it -simply mocked up the parts in my shed until they looked right. I'll get Pete to have a measure up for you.
Another visit to PD's Palace of Mechanical Delights this evening, this time with Loony in tow. He's also building an XS for someone else, so was checking out the competition & comparing notes.
The frame out of the jig & rolling -I'm really pleased. No photos of us onboard it, but I can report it's a very natural riding position & feels like it'll be a lot of fun to ride. We want to keep it simple & useable. Pete's aiming to work on it as much as he can in the next few days before we put it on show on our pitch at the Basingstoke Festival of Transport next weekend.
