Re: designing a better kit frame.

Another idea: 6 bolts on each bearing block is overkill for most applications. If you slot four of those holes horizontally, you would give people the option to use either fixed or sliding bearing blocks (for tensioning). It would also help to make it easier to visually distinguish the orientation of the offset.
