basher Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) nice bike, are you wesley, kennys bro, or related to him in some way?Yeah its kenny brother, he was in the brunsach (or how ever you spell it) road trip video riding with kenny at demo kinda thing.im really thinking about looking into getting one of these frames the geo sounds great, ive never liked monty 26' frames this will be first ive even considered buying. I suspect the price will put me off though and won't have enough pennies. Edited October 22, 2007 by basher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnyMilton Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Its ok !2 ways to make it lighter:1: Put a drilled rim on the front2: Get rid of all that detail(stickers), that could possible take the weight down by at least a couple of pounds!lolJohny!

Mr.trial_dude Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 the front rim is possibly a tubeless setup hence it not being drilledFront rim is a mavic one ,lighter than a standard drilled rim.I actually mean superlight...the rim is very small,so you can use smaller tubes= lighter tubes.and about the stickers.. sponsers ? Think the bike is the nuts !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Im well suprised hes using a mavic rim on front, only just noticed now. Considering most of all his riding will be on natural a thinish front rim seems pritty silly, seeing as hes going to get more tyre roll.

Alex Dark Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 It looks ok....especially the colour....but too many stickers, bit overcrowded, and im not overly keen on the weird hump thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 kenny said on first page 3.5 is that just a mistake? or does he mean 3.5cmSo you just repeated something he said without even knowing what he was on about? You really are a basher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Beautiful!I think the stickers would be nicer without the black background, though ...Cheers,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
