And Another New Steed!


Nick Manning

Recommended Posts

Yes, I have another new bike. It's a Phase 1.2, kindly supplied from 2x2 worlwide through Giles @ MAD.

I'm currently running the original frame, fork, headset, bb, bar and stem. The rest of the parts are from my ZHI.

When this picture were taken I was trying out a rear disc, but have now opted for the hs33.

Picture was taken on a mobile. (will get new, better quality pics tonight).

Wheelbase is 1075

BB is +5

It rides so well. I honestly expected the low bb to make a difference, but I've not noticed a change at all.

Video to come very soon.........

Having had a quick ride on it, I can honestly say it actually rides quite nice. I know that sounds a weird thing to say, but I wasnt expecting it to be as nice as it was.

Kind of got that Skoda image about it, however I think this frames very underestimated. Looks wise, I like it. the red sets it off nicely.

Was there really a need to type everything twice? lol

Unfortunately, I wont be attending the HBTC round this sunday, as I'm doing a demo. However, I will most certainly be there for Wareham.

I did want to do all 8 rounds this year, but earning money comes first.

I've still done more HBTC rounds this year compared to any other year, so I'm chuffed with that.

I rode a 1.1 a while ago because some spoilt kid round my way got one then he sold it, it rode really nice for complete stock parts.

I do like the red though, not a bike like it (well I guess the new Onza 26's are a little).

Whats the bike count now Nick?

Not sure, maybe mid 20's. lol

Dan, I don't think anyone would actually kill themselves over the colour of a bike, lol.

the 1.2 is by far the best phase you can get, and i must say the bike geo is well tweaked i enjoyed having a little play with the box standard 1 at work (except the rear hub is suicidal)

and my god it looks good with them white rims and your parts nick, from what i can recall those bar and stem are very mod-like?

i hope you fitted a booster with the rear maggy too, cos rear end is super flexo!
