St Martin - Rainbow Frame Drawing
« on: December 29, 2014, 07:29:41 PM »

We found this technical drawing of a new St Martin frame called Rainbow on Taka's blog. He posted some specs as well. According to those the frame will be available in 3 sizes:  
- 18.2" with 12.6" chainstays
- 18.8" with 12.8" chainstays
- 19.5" with 13.2" chainstays

Standover height: 5.6"
 14 mm dropouts, adapters included
Colors: black and bronze clear coating

It's another return of the good old bent tubes. How do you like the design?

It looks like one of their past frames, and I can't help but imagine that due to the design on the front end, that the TT and DT need a brace. Good to see a flat looking frame. But I would have hoped for something more.

Looks pretty much the same as the Ares Garuda to me
