Hunter 36" Frame?

I don't know what you consider short legs but I have a crank bolt to top
of seat measurement of 30" (using 140 MM cranks). The width of the
crown at the tire is 5", it gets wider towards the bottom (running wide
hub). There is 1/2" tire clearance at the top, the seat tube is 4".
When I ordered, he (Rick Hunter) asked about the seat tube length and
how short I wanted to go.

Not trying to get too personal, but how big around are your quads? Mine
are 23" at the point were the crown on my GB4 hits my leg. That is
about 7 inches above the knee on the back of my leg.

Also does the tubing for the forks protrude in front of the seat tube at
all?

You might try to contact Bronson. From the pics, he seems to fit the
profile.

Sorry I don't know his inseam length, but when my son got his Hunter36
(wide-hub like Dirtsurfer), he was about 5'1" and while he fit with
125mm cranks fine, 152mm was a little long. 6 months later at a bit over
5'3" he fits the 152s fine with the seat all the way down.

Hope that helps,
Nathan

I'm at 21" at 5'11" about 205 lbs. The seat tube is mounted on the
front and center of the tube and the other goes back. Heres a side
view...

I think with the seat forward and the tubes mounted that way my legs
will easily clear the tubes.

I notice occasionally brushing the front tubes on mine, but the
interface is smooth and curved and not abrasive at all.

Cool, that is pretty much what I experienced with the stock Coker. I
love the look, and stiffness of the GB4 frame, but those of us that are
short with quads of steel are going to rub.

Also if I havn't sid it enough, I love the feel of my new wheel. It is
exactly what you said it would be. If riding a Coker could be anymore
fun it would be illegal.

In my case at the moment, it's steel with a rubber coating. 😄

Thanks for your comments about the wheel... squash lots of bugs with it!
