New Charge Scissor V2 bike check
I just got the new Charge Scissor V2 frame through. This is the production model of the frame I’ve been riding for a few months. The head tube and seat tubes are shorter but the top tube remains the same.
Here are the full specs
Frame: Charge Scissor V2
Fork: Charge Scissor Fork
Cranks: Profile race cranks 165mm
Chain ring: Profile 38 tooth
Pedals: Carhartt
Straps: Sofus Francisco
Chain: KMC Ultralight
Stem: Eclat
BB: Eclat Spanish BB
Bars: Gusset Open Prison
Grips: Carhartt
Headset: FSA
Seatpost: God knows what pivotal
Saddle: Odyssey
Rims: Chukka 26inch
Hubs: System Ex
Tyres: Schwalbe Marathon 1.75 x 26
Sprocket: 17 tooth something or other
Just one point: This frame is designed for 700c wheels so the bottom bracket is rather low with these 26 inch wheels. I’m eiher gonna be trying some shorter cranks or swopping back to the 700s.
All I need to do now is get back into riding the bugger! Been riding BMX a fair bit whenever the weather has allowed. When I went out on the fixed gear last night to try it out I totally sucked.

It really does look like a big BMX bike with the 26′s on. Throw some 700′s on it!

yes i know, that because the frame is not designed for 26s. Just wanted to try it
January 16, 2011 at 2:44 am
hey why is it sooo slanted tho? i dont get it.. is it cus shes using 26?
January 16, 2011 at 11:46 am
that’s the design of the frame. Coz it’s a trick specific frame. And it’s got two wheels of the same size on it so that wouldn’t make it slant!

Spanish bottom – gotcha. enjoy your trip!

I’m running 160s on my v1 Scissor, and I have a lot less pedal strike issues. It’s still pretty hard to fakie with though. Give it a try if you can get access to 160s!

[...] I recently set my Charge Scissor V2 with 26 inch wheels. I just wanted to see what it would be like. It wasn’t great as the frame is not designed for 26 inch wheels so I’ve put my 700s back on. Here’s the pic and the specs. Check the 26 inch set up here. [...]
