* Henry James sells True Temper tubing by the tube, so custom builders can fine tune frame designs to
match the rider's needs. Kits are described for information only. It is the builder's sole responsibility to
select a combination of tubes that will serve the intended type of riding while providing adequate strength,
stiffness, frame fatigue life, and safety.
** Rider Weight Ranges are a rough guide for beginning builders. The lower number attempts to address how
light a rider can be before the rider may find the frame feels rough riding, or too stiff and so not lively enough.
The higher number for road frames attempts to address when a taller, stronger rider may feel a bike is too flexible,
affecting handling and control. For mountain frames, the higher number attempts to address potential frame bending
or failure from impacts or metal fatigue, when there is too much rider and not enough bike.
The limitations of the weight & size ranges become quite obvious when you consider that variations from average
rider strength, aggressiveness, skill level, speed & terrain, etc. were not considered in establishing the ranges.
