« on: February 07, 2010, 11:29:16 AM »
Hitman Bikes refined the Judas frame with the help of Day Smith and what comes out is the Judas v2 Day Smith signature frame.

Some facts:
-100% post-weld heat treated 4130 Japanese Sanko tubing
 -75 degree head tube angle
 -Mid BB
 -Bottom Bracket height: 11.75"
 -19" Toptube length
 -13.25" rear end

You can already buy the frame from Street Maffia for 389$.

Think this would be popular, but that price seems a bit high. You can get a custom made for around 300 init?

Stays could be swaged a little more to create a smoother transition into the dropout thus increasing foot comfort on backwheel trickery. Looks nice though and I applaud the raised CS that provides a tick more scuff room on stick b's.

How much space do you think it really offers?

I have to agree... seems a bit high in price, but I like the frame a lot!

i have a question, how is the "step over" of frames measured? would it be from the center of the bottom bracket to the top tube?

On the frame drawing it would be center of BB to center of TT at the seat mast connection.
However, I have no idea how hit man measure this or give this value as often numbers are manipulated to fit adverts etc.

yah because if the frame was mounted with 1.5 tires v. 1.95 tires the step over highe would be much different right?
