26twenty Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Rowan Very tidy, like that alot. How you finding the ultimate on the coated rim. I almost went for some of those rims but didn't think they would work well with a V. Also congrat's on the interview in Wideopen. Some nice photographs and a great little insight.

Tomm Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Haha, that's well factory. Nice one.Not convinced on the new green Hope stuff though - the older, darker, green was better I reckon. Guess that's not totally your fault though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Looks sweet, not entirely sure on the green. Didnt want new grips then!?no!Has your Avid bedded in yet?no!Nice one son. Where's the f**king video? ha ha ha.filming vid 2 shortly ....Rowan Very tidy, like that alot. How you finding the ultimate on the coated rim. I almost went for some of those rims but didn't think they would work well with a V. Also congrat's on the interview in Wideopen. Some nice photographs and a great little insight. James cheers fella - the brake is stupid at the mo - and a little annoying - its still wearing in, but loud and super bitey (not good for me) (oh and they are trialtech rims btw and are very nice)the wideopen thing was wierd - Oli Ward (who did the interview) is a photographer (and rider) in bristol and we just went out and took some shots then he just asked if i would do the interview - I had had a pint so .... all good.RJPS - for all those asking for geometry go to www.tartybikes.co.uk as said in the first post - will update when the new ones are in ...

Rob Thomson Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) Right, what the f**k, actually WHAT THE f**k? Why oh why do they create these frames for riders with disc mounts, let them ride them in public so people see them and go "OOh, it's got a disc mount, winner!" and then when they actually bring them out they DON'T HAVE THE f**kING DISC MOUNT!!Argh! That's really p***ed me off!Rage, but it does look pretty sexy i must admit Edited April 23, 2008 by Rob Thomson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Smith Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) Short but very nice indeed. fairly simular set-up (colour scheme) to Martyn Ashton's current demo rig.best looking ashton EVER! and yes the have a short wheel base but they have a steep head angle so it makes them feel fairly long and the geo is from tartys GeometryWheelbase: 1055mm (When measured with Ashton forks, sold separately)Chainstay Length: 380mmBB Rise: 20mmHead Angle: 73 degreesCentre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 685mm (27") Edited April 23, 2008 by ANDY-MBK-RIDER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLeacock™ Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) that looks mint rowan, really nice !is that just a standad ashton with differnet stickers on ? just read the rest of the thread Ben Edited April 23, 2008 by BenLeacock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Because that's just an old frame sprayed up? A couple of the protos had disc mounts but they broke.Bike looks kinda weird for me... very different but not sure I like it :$Edit: The geo on TartyBikes is claimed and depends on forks. Alis measured up at about +5mm BB.Edit: Jesus this thread moves fast... first comment regarding the disc mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
