RossMcd Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) Hey!well... My mum done a deal with me that if i pass all my exams this year she will buy me a really good bike of my choice.My mum wasnt expecting me to get such good results and is now having to fork out for a new bike But im stuck between getting the Hydroxx or the Carbon? which one is stronger? which one rides better? Both will have the same spec so im confused and need help! Thanks! Edited October 8, 2008 by RossMcd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason222 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hydroxx. Super stiff and geo is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Congratulations , and what a pleasant dilema . Unfortunately I've never ridden either , but I've always loved the look of the Carbon . Keep us updated when you get it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Carbon fibre is just another thing to go wrong. It's stiff and strong, but hit it against something sharp and it'll shatter. I voted Hydroxx because it's a frame I really wanted to get. Nice geo, great looks. What else could you ask for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 How high do you like your bottom brackets?I'd get a Hydroxx personally, but thats 'cos the geo suits me with the higher bb and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Get a Hydroxx, or if you want to be really, really cool, get an Ozonys XR26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 So this is really a "my mum is buying me a new bike because i did something i should have done anyway, so I've chosen the most expensive options for her" thread?You haven't even mentioned anything about the geo or what type of bike you would like to ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for something that would preform well at natural and street. w/b to be around 1080 - 1090.I failed a few of my prelims so my mum thought she was safe she didnt make me revise or nothing.Her own fault for making the offer. And they are within the price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I think such comments are best kept out of this thread simply for the sake of avoiding a row.I wasn't trying to be a total dick head. Yea ok your mum lost the bet. But do you really have to spend twice as much than any other frame for something thats going to have a fith of its life-span "just because mums paying", even if it wasn't my money id still be looking 2nd hand, some quality top spec'ed frames have come up recently for more affordable prices.Just saying that 500 pounds plus can be spent a lot better than on a bike frame which will brake, and have no 2nd hand value. If your parent(s) have got that much moolar kicking about though suppose its alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetjibs Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 definately hydroxx... though, u will have to get the hydroxx 2, hydroxx is out of stock!Iv had a carbon and i currently ride a hydroxx... the hydroxx is by far a nicer bike, stiffer and feels alot more responsive.but if shes offering anythign.. surely get a boxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Jees your mums good at buying bikes too!! Lucky f**ker you are. I've always loved the look of the Karbon, yes its spelt with a KBut you should go for the ozonys for sure.So I might be a little confused here. is it a full bike or just the frame?Oh yea forgot to add, and I think someone has already said, but the Hydroxx is out of stock so youll have to wiat on the hydroxx2. Karbon is out of stock too. as well as the canibal (in silver). had to make room for deng frames I think.
