In the picture, BB looks to be above the axles of the 29" wheels. So probably about 15".

I think you'll need a swing arm extension too... but it'll be totally worth it.

Max, you could cut the chain stays from your Paragon, and weld them on to VP Free, for the swing arm extension.

I link to a thread of someone else doing funny stuff, with these great intentions of making fun of that person...and somehow it all gets turned back on me. How does this happen?
