Re: pic: Drivetrain Concept

Pre 2014, I would say the frame members are way over sized and using thinner metal and a little redesign on the frame would have been recommended for weight. After watching the frame failures in 2014, I would not say it is over built. Still there are other methods to absorb the impact forces with less weight.
