Rusevelt Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) Bike looks great, but pic looks weird on this internet cafe pc. the vertical picture boarderlines look compressed inwards (ie like standing in front of those funny mirrors that make you look tall and thin). my mistake, i think this pc monitor is fcuked/distorted!

Greetings Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 f**k me, that is so nice Need to get hold of one of these frames, by the sound of it they must be lovely to ride. Also like the idea of the very steep head tube.Strange logos on the Nobby Nic though, is it a 2008 tyre? If so, is it any different to the earlier model?

Greetings Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Sounds the same then, just with a different logo. Mine also weighed 495 when it was new, now it's probably down to 430 or something Just look out for front wheel snakebites Look out for new HEN stuff, they are soon going to introduce a wide range of titanium goodies.
