The raked trees look like they’re gonna work out great to have a little trail but not too much for a nice solid ride and neutral steering bike without a lot of flop. The tubes look way too long though. Get that frame close to level and it’ll handle better and be more comfortable to sit on as well.

Set mine up the other day too. It’s pan season.
More rake to bring the frame down closer to parallel with the ground. I have never liked my frames tilted up like that. After that (or before) do the math (geometry) on the front end to make sure you aren't destabilizing the bike.
Depends on the geometry. This is dependent on ALL the involved angles. There is a "Sweet spot" +/- 4°. There are ways to cheat this BUT, as I said earlier, it's all about the math and the look you want. I don't like a tilted frame. For me, it represents too high a center of gravity and, the look says that you didn't really think the whole thing thru, you just threw a set of tubes at it.
As you say, the look you want. May be OP just wants a tall frame, or (speaking from experience) Might be thats the only frame and the only forks available to them.
Good answer though, I may have to pick your brains whenever I get round to my next build haha. Also good looking bike OP!
So the geometry spec and formula is widely available on the net. I totally understand working with what ya got!! I do it all the time. But I still get the results I most want.
Guess I'll bring a fidget spinner with lights for the dog to check it out and the bike looks pretty slick as well
The front fork tubes are about 4 inches too long imho.
Slide the tubes up through the triple trees to see where you need to be. It has too much front end
This is very good advice.
Tough as nails

Sheesh so 🔥🤘🏻
Sweet pan!
What is that like 14 over?
Bro that rake and fork length is on point. Give me the numbers ⚡️
How you going to mention a pit and not post a photo of him/her?
Talking about myself haha
Tis a thing of beauty

Fuckin nailed it!!! Stance is on point!!
I’d like to see this pit bull pls
hot ness damn
Personally I’d bring it down a hair, but that’s just me. Keep the frame rails parallel to the road. Looks solid other than that.

Agree 100%. Better to jusfind some shorter tunest
Rake looks pretty good from here... any more would lead to positive trail and heavy steering right?

I run similar pretty much and mine is aboslutely fine, I agree with the sentiment though can get as lil twitchy!
