DangerousDave Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Did a search and didn't find anything and i don't really consider this a bike pic thread either.Built this up yesterday and got my first real ride on it today. Measured geo is 1095, 385, 40 with meta fork. Built up nicely, first bike in years that I've actually had to use a headset press. Everything seemed aligned and properly threaded for a change too. Only issue I had was that the fork was a little tight for my 2.1 Nevegal front tire. Once I trued the wheel properly then it stopped rubbing. Coming off the Bow frame which was 1085 385 30 with a 115x10 stem and a zoo bar cut to 28 and rolled forward as far as possible, the bike actually felt pretty similar. The flat bar felt slightly narrower than my zoo bar cut to the same width, but this is actually more comfortable on my wrists. Bar/stem combo definitely fits the bike. I'm running a 0.5cm spacer and it feels just about right. Feels more stable than the bow on the rear wheel and doesn't feel much longer, its actually easier to throw around with the way I have it setup. Something I noticed right away was how much better the fork felt. With the echo urban fork I was having trouble doing lunges because my front wheel would jack knife and move around too much. This fork feels so much stiffer and makes precision moves much much easier.I'm still getting used to taps with the longer wheelbase and higher bb but it's only day one on the bike so I'm sure that will change. All in all I'm pretty happy with it and amazed that of all people, I am riding a 1095 wheelbase bike. Oh and total weight of my bike is 24 lbs (bow was 23.5 due to lighter frame, urban fork, thomson stem etc).Mod was just released as well and from what I hear more products to follow. Oh and you can get a complete stock for $1500 Canadian and complete mod for $1400 Canadian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I'm not all that keen on the look of the stock except for the seatstay junction - thas really pretty.I like the mod a lot on account of it having straight tubes and looking like a bike.why can't trials companies do graphics ? I honestly don't think I've ever seen a trials bike without shit stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 They both look sick. I really think the stock would be a nice ride as well. With a decent tensioner and vee brake mounts it would be a must. I'm glad theres a grey trials frame finally, polished is soo boring!

Jason222 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 With the echo urban fork I was having trouble doing lunges because my front wheel would jack knife and move around too much.Forgive my ignorance, but what's a lunge? is that like a gap to front wheel?

DangerousDave Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 you can probably call it many things, but I was referring to this style of move, where you are on an object, essentially pulling back on the front wheel, then lunging up to rear wheel.

AdamR28 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Yeah... I was more thinking Metallica: http://www.leninimports.com/metallica_logo_patch.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) Well no, i was right, i thought about it the way you put it, but the a on the end of META looks like the a on the end of metallica so i counted that as the last letter, so it would have been METallicAWait no, ben was wrong, I meant metallica not matallic, but you can work out what i meant from that ^^^^ anyway, i think.
