Not to be too critical, but do you think the head tube will be beefy enough like that? We don't have a clear view of the head tube area but from this view it doesn't look like there is much for gusseting up there, considering how much travel that bike has. Just wondering.
I am assuming you are the frame builder..? |

| yeah, I built the frame, the front end is made out of 4130 steel, check out most bmx bikes there is maybe a gusset on the underside of the downtube. |
