Slots-Forward

Forward facing seat slots on Pinnacle Frames

A small detail, that takes the seat-tube slot out of the path of spray and mud from the rear wheel.

At first glance this appears very easy to do. That's what we thought! But the slot needs to be a specific length to be effective and you don't want to be too close to the welding of the seat tube either. This meant a re-write of ALL our frame drawings, whilst at the same time trying to keep our preferred frame shape - often the top tube is dropped down further, resulting in it being below the seat stay join, giving an off-set frame style which we did not want.
