AdamR28 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thought you might like to see some closeup shots of this rare humped beast... Weight is 8.60kg with pedals on, pretty good! Geometry Wheelbase: 1010mm Chainstay Length: 363mm BB Rise: 80mm Head Angle: 71.5 degrees Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 600mm (23.6") The eagle-eyed will have spotted the pierced downtube to accommodate the BB shell... rather cool!

Tom_ Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Looks suprisingly good, and thats fecking light. Still not a fan of that hump though to be honest. There going to be any pics of the stock around soon? These are the best looking pics Iv seen so far.. Also whats this about a pierced DT Im to stupid/blind to know.

I'm not sure, maybe if someone sells one! About the downtube - if you look carefully, it extends behind the back of the BB shell. The downtube has a hole drilled through it to accept the BB shell, then it's welded in place and the seat tube and chainstays join to that. Should create a stiffer and stronger join I reckon.

Tom_ Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Ahhh right yea, that does look pretty stiff.. Someone buy the stock, I want to see one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Ahhh right yea, that does look pretty stiff.. Someone buy the stock, I want to see one. A cleans bike rider has one, Something ford his name is might andy. He rides the tykes trial series. I astounded that this is the first time they used a join like that i thought it would common sense ive never noticed other frames not being made like that. Like you said ads it should create a stronger join with the bigger weld area. Wouldn't mind haveing a blast on one of these thing ill have to have a bash on one at 2 day tyke event. They look really sweet i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 They used to use pierced junctions like that in BMX. They don't any more. IIRC standard did it first with the top tube / seat tube on the sta and S&M did it first with the head tube / down tube on the menstrual cycle God Im feeling old now Its not really possible to do on the BB / down tube with the good old bmx BB shell, these new fangled modern shells you could do though. Its a pretty sensible way of jointing 2 tubes, much stronger than butt welding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) They are incredibly aesthetically pleasing. Theres like 4 members of the Essex Bike trial club who have the mod, and 1 who has the stock. Edited June 7, 2008 by Fugley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
