After waiting two entire months for 21.25 we the people pathfinder just to get an email that’s it’s delayed again, I am sick of waiting and i honestly can’t wait any longer. Now that I’m not getting it I’m stuck deciding between two frames and I absolutely cannot decide. 21.25 kink royale frame, or 21 WTP doomsayer frame. I’m 6’4 so i wanted 21.25, but at the same time I’ve ridden 21 the majority of my life. I really can’t decide. Pics of each frame and geometry attached, if anyone would like to give me pointers. I currently have 15 offset forks and idk if that extra .25 n the doom sayer would throw me off or feel even better

Another thing to consider is the kink has a suuuper short back end, 12.5 where the wtp has a less twitchy 12.95 , if you like manuals and stuff I’d go for the wtp
That doomsayer is a brakeless frame, if that matters to you. If you decide to put brakes on later it’s a little more involved than just mounting some.
I’m putting together a bike right now, myself. That .25 doesn’t seem like much but when you start extrapolating angles, it makes a pretty significant difference in feel.
If you like the Royale, you could always go with it in a 21″ frame.
For me, I was hunting down a 20.75 MR2 for a while before I finally found one. It has been worth the wait to get exactly what I wanted.
I ended up picking the doomsayer but thanks for the input guys!
All people I know loved the doomsayer frame. I have nit tried it yet tho.
But 12.5 cs is even short for my taste lol

This one for sale brand new
Make a 21.25 lairdframe doomsayer for 500 bones at lairdframe.com
Or take the measurements you like from each frame and build a custom.
