Jamie_Neal Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Unfortunatly no idea although I saw a couple at Koxx Days and they do look lovely.Can't seem to find any info on them (that I can understand) either.They seem to be a bit of a bargain at £170 as well.

Alex-Mitchinson Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yeh I saw 2 guys on them at Koxx days, they were doing some big stuff as well so you might be able to get away with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) The yellow one is the tucana PRO and the other is the STD.PRO has long and short versionsLong is 1090mm Short is 1075mm+30mm bb rise380mm chainstays minimumTyre clearance is ok for 2.5 inchWeighs 1.9kgSome other bits that I can't make sense of are random measurements of 172mm and 408mm. Also unsure if it's mod or normal spacing.Only one version of the STD is made1065mm+15mm bb rise385mm chainstaysTyre clearance is ok for 2.5 inchWeighs 1.930kgOnly one random measurement on this one and I'm guessing its for the 10mm v bosses.This is for the 08 models.

boriska Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 The first one comes in two versions long and short (1090 and 1065), 380, +35, 71.5. It has horizontal dropouts with BMX style tensioners made for 135 hub. It's only 1750 g and is a good choice for the price for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Alex you should get a Marino. Tucanas seem to be the staple frame for mid-range Eastern European riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
