basher Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I think the general concensus (sp?) on these frames are that they ride shockingly. Personally i wouldnt like one anyway because of the 55+ bb rise, but i believe most people hated the ride of them with the exception of a few people obviously.

Andrex Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 shockingly, huh? yeah +55 bb is not so good...would you say the '05 Control would be better than this pure?Yes definatly, and its a Hi-fi by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubuntu_user Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 okay, why I wondered is because this bike is on ebay right now and the person selling it doesn't seem to know anything... I don't think I'm interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason222 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I LOVE that frame design! If only they still made these, but in a different geometry...but I'm not overly loving the headtube, just everything else is sex! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Dont know why everyone is slating the ride. The Hi-fi's Ive riden were nice.Pretty much the same ride as a GU, which once youve gotten used to is quite nice.Depends on how you ride though, no good for stretty move like manuals ect, but great for taps gaps and sidehops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 These frames are very similar in geometry to the older Pitbulls and A1's but people have always been complaining about the HiFi being awful.GU's are similar to the Hifi. +10mm rise and 3mm shorter chainstays don't turn an awful frame into a brilliant one. Fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact.Damn straight, that's why the GU's are pants Only messing of course. I know a few people who've really quite liked their Hifis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 shockingly, huh? yeah +55 bb is not so good...would you say the '04 Control would be better than this Hi-fi?2004 Control! best bikes ever made!

Ash-Kennard Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 nah, not sure why, but the hifis ride badly, for no real reason, headangle? anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 it's strange how you all say that they ride horrid, biddle had one and it rode gorgeous, i really liked the way it rode...but yeh it looks like an 05, them cranks are scarey as said so i'd go about changing them. Can't see the hubs on it, but i'd imagine there deng wheel sets as everything else is pretty much deng.in short, i really like it and they ride the sex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
