If there is a bored fatboy owner (size Large / 19) out there, could you measure something for me?

I'm looking for the front-center measurement: the distance from the middle of the BB to the middle of the front axle.

Thanks!!!

Almost exactly 26"

Thanks!!!

And since no good deed goes unpunished..... if you've still go the tape measure handy could I convince you to measure the chainstay (rear axle to center of bb) and wheelbase (axles center to center)?

Something is not making sense about the published geometry numbers and how they compare to my current bike. I don't get it.

Wheelbase 44.5", chainstay 18"

Thanks. Damn you're fast.

Something doesn't add up though because the chainstay + front-center has to be equal or greater than the wheel base right? 18+26 = 44 which is less than your 44.5. They should add up to slightly more since the bb is dropped a bit.


EDIT: Don't worry about it. It's close enough that I'm going to assume it'll just work out. Thanks again.

Yeah I know, not 100% accurate. Quick or accurate, pick one.

My toolbox sticker was "Good, Fast, Cheap, pick two"

Since this was free, I figured we were already past the cheap part.
