gahhh, I am always the last to hear stuff I could do with knowing more about 24" I have all the parts and Iam only in need of a frame and if somthing like the et is on the cards that would be PERFECT!!
iolo pads with any backings!! best brake I have ever had, just as much bite as tar, loads of hold too. better than my koxx, coust, heatsink, majic pads!!
when he was over here in 04, he competed in the Tech04 comp which was a uci thing. He entered masters and came 2nd behind butler.......so he can compete and can do pretty well!
as far as I understand Orange are just importing the frames from tiwan, so I think the frames are just going to be the same as before. I havnt actually spoken to Mart about it, so thats not set in stone.
I always see people with soaked tops from sweating!! I have never sweated enough for any clothing to get wet (other than damp socks) I sweat very little
it sure is..... I was asking orange for sponsorship last year and I did a few designs (that paint one is a crap one) and I wanted it to be simular to other orange designs beacause A) cheaper to make if they could use the same parts from other bikes and people would instantly recognise it as an orange. I may not be an engineer, but I thought with that design the "swingarm" would want to be pushing the toptube in comression (strong) and kinda pushing the downtube down, but with the downtube being a big mucher trucker, it wouldnt matter as much as its plenty strong enough for the dh frames having the shock mount trying to puch directly in the middle. I have loads of other drawings of different ways of making a raised chainstay frame.
I agree it is nice, that design of mine was to be my sig model if ever Ashton went down that road. At least I can have the good feeling that my designs work and are worthy of the "top" brand to produce.
the f**king bastards!!!!! first they do the bow, which means I can now never make my frame design which was simular, and now this!! I have been drawng bikes with a swingarm rear for a while and posted them on here. (heres a crappy paint virsion) gahhhhh!!! I aint sure if I am gonna put any more of my designs online. (ps, bike looks good)
