Just found some more... added to the site now Sorry about that!

Unfortunately not... Hydroxx 2 due out in approx 2 months. Very similar frame with a different (very cool) paint job. As far as broken frames - I've not heard of one broken by a 'normal' rider and even Gilles (Coust) hasn't broken one yet! It is...

Very cool but unfortunately not a Pace... really hope you didn't pay Pace price for it mate...!

wheredidthatstaincomefrom? If I wanted/needed to get a shit job, I would just make my CV shit?

Ditto ... and have done in the past. Marquee erection for £2.66 an hour anyone? 100+ hour weeks not uncommon...

Not that I know of. (This is a 26" by the way...) Bike looks smart.. apart from the gay pink haha

So THAT's where the system fails... I wasn't fully aware of this. That needs to be sorted out asap. Regarding benefits, lazy gimps who just sponge really get on my nerves, but for people genuinely not able to work it can be a lifesaver (from personal experience) and I think it's great we have such a system set up.

Apparently so, not seen proof for that though! The world record for constipation is 102 days. I'm sure I've posted that before somewhere...

With brand new brakes they do need to bed in, the lever firms up a lot once the pads are dead square and they have compressed/hardened up. Mono Trial brakes really flexy at all once set up well and bedded in, espeically not the latest models!

I had the same... I just filled out pretty much all the fields with 'I AM NOT A BUSINESS' and it seemed to do the trick...

Those were my thoughts exactly. They look pretty 'flat' in their shape.

It's the head tube number, each head tube (fitted to disc and non disc XTP short and long, and Hoesels) is unique.

See, to me that's a good design feature. If you're not a muppet then there is no need for 'safety' dropouts, they were only designed to stop yanks from suing bike companies, haha. The flat plates just make it easier to get the wheel out. You would think it's necessary on the rear too but nobody does it... As for the welds, those aren't design features But I do think the old saying 'strong, light, cheap - pick two' applies quite nicely here.

Blackstone Edge... Best place ever? The pic shows about 1/8 (or less?) of the riding! The 'Summer Air' video was filmed there I think the design is actually very good. What do you reckon's wrong with em Ben?

I do a bit but I'm no basher :wink2: Only really the underside of the chainstays and the very bottom of the downtube.

Afternoon all, Few new bits on my steed so thought I would grab a couple of pics... - Try-All Rage bars. Only a teeny bit (1") wider than my Montys but the difference is noticeable, much better 'stance' on the bike and more control over the front wheel. - DOB forks. Nice and light, stiff, look cool and match my colour scheme (the most important bit!? ) - EBC Green front brake pads. Testing these out (very good so far!) so thought I'd best do this on the standard rotor. - Monty 221 Kamel rear rotor. A bit heavier than my Rockman but I've always found Hope rotors and Hope pads to work very well together so thought I would try it. Really impressed so far! - 13T rear sprocket. This bike seems to be made for 18:13 ratio! Just feels much more agile, snappier, lighter... love it! - Try-All Reinforced 'Light' chain. 1200kg breaking load (KMC Kool is 1300) so hardly any weaker, but about 15% lighter than a Kool. As used by all the Koxx pros and hasn't let me down yet... - Trialtech carbon headset spacers. Just carbon spacers really... but nice white logos - Few knobbles cut out of the rear tyre. Gives better grip I reckon, better mud clearing, and 45g saved. Managed to source a 13T 7075 alloy rear sprocket too so that's going on asap! Anyway... pics... Took 2 and couldn't decide which was best so you can have both Ads

Well, after nearly 4 years without a bike, Ian Cooper is getting back into riding again! For those thinking 'who is Ian Cooper?', he used to ride for various big teams including Raleigh (where he had a custom titanium frame) and DiamondBack 5+ years ago. Top bloke! Weight is 9.6kg, the lightest complete 26" bike we've ever built! Pretty good considering there's not a single modification... Hope you like Adam

Same... wanted to get White but Koxx are all sold out of those so there are only a few colour choices left! Looks pretty smart with the blue stickers on though

Winging it's way to Sweden today Hope you like! Adam

About 1040 I think, but the head angle was steep - given a 'modern' head angle that would leave the wheelbase at around 1070. 385 chainstay, internal headset, 31.8 bar and stem, front freewheel, drilled rims, CNC chainstay yoke (one piece with the BB shell I think?), alloy disc rotors (these are starting to make a comeback...), +30 disc mount on the front, +40 rear disc mount, spline-fit rear rotor to prevent force being put through the bolts. Even the Monty/V!Z current model front disc hubs are an almost identical copy of the front hub on that bike ('BikeGas')!

Well I believe the BB is 30 up... the bikes were miiillleesss ahead of their time.

Haha... 'There's no pain in my heeaaaddd!!'... awesome

Great news, looking forward to it!

His forks are already bent enough as it is Very impressive

Usually approx 200g a frame.
