Muel Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 My mate has one, they seem really strong but I don't know how good the geo is because I ride MOD.Seems nice to me though, but I don't like his bars, he has them tipped back.

loffa Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 The geo should be 1080wb, +0bb, 380cs and 71,5 head angle. dont quote me on that head angle though. I have ridden a mk1 coust and I LOVED it. The frame was really stiff and responsible compared to the zoo boa that I had at that time. (not that the boa would be a good comparision(sp?) of a stiff frame, but you get the point). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 still one of the best riding frames ever, in my opinion.my v1 has lasted me nearly 3 years now, which is pretty damn great for a comp frame. Granted I don't go big or harsh, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Quigley Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Tank had a MkI replica (think they came from the same factory but dont quote me) the downtube was made of cheese and it has dent on dents on dents, but it hasn't cracked in the slightest and is still going strong (used for street). Saying that he doesn't ride it anymore but dreams of one day building it up again. Sorry realise I didn't help at all with geometry but others have.
