Does any one know the correct rake for an early scout frame ?
I have asked tony leenes , george yarocki , ken fox, jurgen hecker , moen , walkers , j parker , jurgen sundberg .... list goes on
it appears no one knows
I measure 23* but thats on a bent frame . I need to make a frame jig . George yarocki 101 frame diagram shows rake as 30* and down tubes 15* , the top tube is on a 5* slope .
if the neck were reset so the top tube was level then rake would be 25* and down tubes would be 20*
cheers
