Grant Peters Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hey, I know a custom curtis would be a good option, but i just wondered if anyone knew of a frame that was available with 'Zebdiish' geo at the moment... Just spoke to clive leeson and he is'nt taking any orders at the mo so was looking at options:I'm open to anything as long as its similar to: (within reason and has to have a seat and look like a normal bike no offense meant to long and lows)74° head angle15.5" rear stays13" bb heightabout 5 lbsNS Bikes suburban 26 looked like a maybe, but only has horizontal dropouts and low bb... shame looks great thoughThe mob frame looks good, but is £500 and at that price i may as well get a curtis...I made a shady mock up of a black market lol head angle is only 69 but should be steeper with 420 forks over 4 inch sus ?

Jason222 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) Dobermann can make you a custom frame, there's a guy that had a dobermann frame made to have the same geo of his old PX. I'll find some pics.Edit: Here Edited August 9, 2008 by Jason222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) For custom geometries, Leeson might be a good bet, as they make frames more geared towards trials, so it will be lighter.Also, lol at your shady mock-up picture!

Mark W Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I made a shady mock up of a black market lol head angle is only 69 but should be steeper with 420 forks over 4 inch sus ? That weirded me the f**k out! That bike belongs to a friend of mine from back in London. I was thinking 'That shit looks really familiar', e.g. bar, stem, seat, post, cranks, sprocket, frame, etc., then it clicked - belongs to Tim, a guy who works in Evans Waterloo.Mark's Fact of the Day.

CurtisRider Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 How strict are you about the seat thing? i REALLY recommend a pashley ghz, after owning 3 bases, curtis, megamo radical, mhz, onza zoot (24) and a echo pure (long ), also riding several other short bikes such as zebdis and leesons, i really cant recommend a ghz more, its fantastic. A base comes close second, although im guessing the lack of 4 bolt mounts will put you offcurrently working on an adaptor to run proper seat surprisingly mines weighs in at just over 25lbs (proper topeak bike scales) with the steel frame, 3 piece crank and steel forks (now running pash forks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Fel Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Koxx Acid Drop.I think this is pretty similar to what you are after. Not sure if you can get hold of one frame only but a full bike is rather cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Is Iolo still making frames? Perhaps a more economical custom frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Is Iolo still making frames?As far as I know, no.I wonder what he's doing now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyota200x Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 www.marinobike.comA guy trustworthy frame builder from Peru. He is very helpful and friendly. $80 usd for a custom steel frame. I own one and it is great. They are heavier but the price is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
