Title: evo frame
Post by: joshua on March 22, 2003, 08:16:07 am

I was just curious about the gusset that the evo 3 and 4 frames have down by the pivot on the crank side.  It runs from pivot to the bottom bracket.  Do they also have it on the non crank side as well.  I didn't notice it in some of the pictures in the gallery.  Just thought I would ask becuase the disco monkey has it on both sides.
