The first “e-frame” prototype has held up well, just a few minor details I wanted to change, most notably the back bridge behind BB, I wanted stiffened up (see 2nd photo), change from 14mm to 10mm (I run a Nankai 10mm freecoaster), really excited to ride this, I will post some photos when it’s built up!

great,simple frame 🙂
nice!
Looks good E! Is the tt longer than b4?
Wait, you have a frame over 19″, adjustability in the dropout slot, the magic 70 degree seat tube and 74.5 head tube? Damn, it’s like you know what you are doing! Very good design. Will work well for all types of riding. Cheers!
Igual Suelo………………gostaria de algo com cara de Flatland.
Lisias, so why do you ride with abad slim?
Thanks Brian, Brett, Navid, Lisias for posting! I’ll try and answer all points.
The TT size is the same as the first prototype, the main things to change really were the dropout size from 14mm to 10mm, that was just a sample mistake on the first frame, and not actually what I wanted.
I tested the first frame for a few months, as you will have seen on the “3 years of flatmatters edit”, I looked at potential weak areas and improved those areas, hence the back bridge change, stiffens up the back end a lot!
Lisias commented it’s like a Suelo, the gusset is totally different, and all the lengths on the frame are totally different. So in my eyes it’s not at all the same. I don’t see the point to create an ugly frame just to create something new. I saw a gap in the market, for what people were looking for, and that happened to be what I was looking for, really psyched how this turned out!
Looks awesome ,right down to the minor details , great job E 🙂
Looks nice. Congrats E.

Hi,
props for being able to have a signature frame,
but still two questions since the pictures of the first prototype :
I can’t finish my comment…
how can you Effraim write something long, the wordpress system kick me out everytime… I don’t know why..
let’s try again :
my questions are :
thats’ crasy, the Word press refuses…
@hheuu I had same problem earlier, not sure why you cant post long posts, took me several tries to post a reply on this thread!
that doesn’t help 🙂 :-p
Yes sorry, maybe you can email me the questions?
love it. glad you change the CS bridge to a tube.
c’mon Heu don’t be shy ,get it out 🙂
Nice one mate looks awesome, nice colour too
sweet frame E but are you going to have the same sticker on the top tube? you know the Robinson’s logo. lol
email send with questions,
and can you show pics of the integrated chain tensioners?
curiosity… :-p
Can people whose names don’t start with the letter E ride this?
entendido…Obrigado! Você anda muito bem e com um modelo sobre seu olhar…vai andar muito bem e provavelmente agradar a varios gosto do mundo!
Dean…
Reto e simples o “Top Tube de Slim Fit 19” “E” 19.55″ bom tamanho para pessoas altas e que gostam de “Crack Paker” Variados.
Likin it a whole stinkin lot. Really hoping you can do a shorter 18.5-18.7″ TT version as well. Also wondering if you changed to a bridge on the CS, why not also on the SS? I dig the ‘E’, but always assumed a bridge was better than a plate. Jus wonderin.
I meant a tube bridge..
Also Suelo’s have a 75.5 HT angle and that just seems crazy.
Looks great! When will these be available?
well crap i probably shouldn’t have slagged it/them like that. It just doesn’t seem good for me is all. 74.5ish is all good in my book.
Hah…I absolutely LOVE the ‘E’ ….ahhh! great specs! Super happy for you E!
Thanks again for all responses, @heu I will send you a few pics when I have a spare moment… For the moment the “E” will definitely be staying, Anthony asked when its available, I will test this version for a few months, then it will go into production, I will let everyone know, exact dates and stuff like that when we get past the testing stage.
I’d gladly Test that!
