Mat Smith! Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 That is SO nice, shorten the chain abit though, looks weird without being really close to the frame. Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Looks awesome, John Get it across to Bristol for a play soon (though the DJ ride on the 7th would be a perfect place to give it a proper thrashing ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitemybutt Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Thanks for all the positive comments guys. If anyone is thinking about getting one of these then do! Fantastic to ride and also got it at a silly price from Tarty as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Did Kot ever do a mod frame? I've always liked the look of the frames and it's DD too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Had to come back for another look Quick one: Long or Short? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Had to come back for another look Quick one: Long or Short? Must be long, the shorts look so short (due to 70.5 headangle + small wheelbase) Looks really nice, shiny shiny shiny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitemybutt Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Yeah, it's the long version. Doesn't feel too long though, due to the head angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron chase Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 brillant it looks really new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Ooh, might be ok then, will have to have a little play next time you're about if that's cool Bristol ride tomorrow then?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) Wait what.... When did this happen, cheeky little b*****d could have said. I want a go like now, i agree wtih luke, ride tommorow. But yeh looks nice, always wanted a Kot. Edit: Two blatent errors, posisbly due to my alcohol intake Bash is too big, chain needs to be black. That is all Edited May 31, 2008 by Bob Fossil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Kearns Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Gonna' be ordering that frame and forks very very soon. In silver though. Looks AMAZING pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brick_top Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Nice-looking bike. Try taps. They're great with that headangle. Still, it's dropouts are shit. Enjoy your riding while the frame is alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Edit: Two blatent errors, posisbly due to my alcohol intake Comedy genius at work, or drunken fool? I side with the latter Also, you lie about the bash and chain (though an 18t setup would be a beast) Give us a shout if you fancy a pootle later, going to head out about 1ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagie Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Oh My God, I think thats the nicest stock ive ever seen! Thats gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 looks pretty tasty personally i dont like the kot forks and i'd put some viz, control etc a curved fork basically. apart from that looks really nice(Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Straight blade > Curved blade. Fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 luke your forks are the only straight thing about, no need to be one of those pushy gays fact kot's look better with curved forks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitemybutt Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I did think about curved forks, but with the slack head angle they would have made it even more noticeable. Will be out in Bristol on Monday if anyone wants to meet up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 That's absolutely beeeeeautiful. Get some big discs on it Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
