Ratman uses his bikes very roughly. He cases alot of jumps. He does alot of grinds. He always lands heavily. Check out the extra thick headtube.

This would be the near legendary 3/8" thick laser cut 4130 dropout. Includes welded-on chain tensioner which ratman decided to have added after the frame had been painted. MouseOver to see how lovely it looked.
Overall view. The fork stickers are blue ScotchLite (reflective) hence the funky glowing effect.
Not only is the headtube extra thick but there are gussets on both the top and down tubes. This has become standard for almost all frame I make now. The 2" OD downtube pierced like that is rare these days.
The seat tube pierces the toptube which very shortly after becomes capped. The seat stays are low in case Ratman wants to scuff the rear tire. Like he can do any flatland tricks. Ha!
