Phil H Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I'm thinking of buying a toxsin 1, I've heard they ride very nicely. I'm 6ft 2 so im looking for something quite long and at 1095 it seems ideal. I'm moving up from 0 BB rise and the Toxsin should be around +15 so seems like a nice step up, not too harsh.What are your thoughts?Cheers, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinc Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Get a Meta. 1095 wb and +35 BB. Sounds goood for someone with your height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gh0s7 Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) Or long Adamant A1 / Czar. By the way, what is the Toxin price in UK ? Cheers, Bozho Edited November 23, 2007 by Gh0s7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I always thought the toxsin 1's were 1080/1085... hmm, might look into getting one myself. That geo sounds about perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil H Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Or long Adamant A1 / Czar. By the way, what is the Toxin price in UK ? Cheers, BozhoWas looking into getting a long czar 07 but my mate decided he needed to hang onto it for abit A1 has too much BB rise for me, used to 0 at the moment.PhilI used to have one, got a toxsin 2 now, the toxsin one was class, havnt rode 2 yet.Hmm, I could get hold of a toxsin 2 very easily but I just don't really like the ride personally, and looking down and seeing a mega wirde top tube kinda puts me off. (no offence)cheers, Philmy toxsin snapped....ah... might have put me off abit. I know you ride absolutely huge but judging from your videos I reacon I weigh more than you so I don't think that bodes well.Ideally I'd have the long Czar like you but as I mentioned above my mate needs to hang onto it and I don't fancy paying the full rrp for it.cheers, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some you here about alot and get a bad name other you dont. Pythins ust to be known for being bomb proof but a few 07s have snapped but they dont get a bad name for it. Controls dotn have a bad name for snapping but i know a few that have. I dont think that the toxsin has a bad name for snapping so it will just be the few that have. Aluminium fatigues so eventually most frames will go after a year or 2 or 3 even if they are super strong. If you like the geo of the toxsin i would go for it, it seems a nice frame. Dont think the disk mount is made for a disk though so wouldnt use one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not that I was going double disk anyway)PhilThey ride very nicely, I've bin on quite a few!I think Phil williams (totaltrials) has one for sale...Sounds good, thats the one I was thinking about getting Not to sound like a twat, but ts quite a deep red and im not sure if I could ever build it up to look nice colour wise.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far i remember its one of them unuseable disk mounts thats not beefy enough. Proberly the same one as thats on the limey.
