Hello everyone, recently bought some stuff off Mark Walker, no issues but got me thinking about possibly buying one of his Alloy tube frames. He has given me a price for the frame, and I realise it will not be a cheap build. Probably looking to buy a frame and a tank to start off with but thought I would ask here about what he is like to deal with and how likely he is to keep to a stated delivery time. I take it that there are no issues with quality. Any thoughts would be gratefully received, obviously a lot of money to lay out so just trying to do due diligence before I start talking properly with him. How does he compare with GIA pricewise. Many thanks Rob.
If you really want him to build a frame for you I think you're best bet is to build a personal relationship with him.

AP calipers have some kind of insert in them from stock so if there's enough meat, go for it.

Maggotbreath is right, it's been featured in SF mag.

Over all though it doesn't seem to take much to get a TL into a serious superbike territory.
This can be a very costly illusion

It was (almost) entirely down to that rotary damper which when it was worked hard stopped damping.
That's the most obvious story but there are a load more factors actually..

The caliper should clear a 320mm disc no problem. How much clearance do you have?
As for the other bit. It's important to make sure the fork is unstressed. Screwing the spindle in the whole assembly can pinch the fork somewhat. Might affect disc centralisation. Given that the wheel should be 2mm narrower at the hub, the discs ought to be close to the inside of the calipers.
Another issue could be disc offset. Stock TL discs for example have a very small offset. Something like 0,5mm each side. Not sure the discs you use have such a small offset, but it's worth checking.

Wasn't quite sure.. second language you see.
Anywho, cool dude that Brock fella. Really into it and running a company, rare combo.

Educated guess is 207. There's few different models in that range hence the guess. Search for "Sam's fork chart" for more detail.

Rumours say late 90's..

And so it begins

The pivot on the frame and the pivot on the swingarm ought to get further apart. Dogbone pulls on triangle which pushes the shock. Along with the swingarm moving up as well. Does look a bit funky though..
