First impressions: After being for a ride today is that the frame is very stiff, comparable to the coustellier i had previously, i am not using the horizontal dropouts as they are designed to run 18 - 15 and i run 18 - 16 so i need to run a tensioner but i am not to bothered about that as i needed to do that on the coust too. It seems to fly up taps, realy easy, i am having a few problems getting my weight forward but i think that was mainly due to it being the first ride on the new bike, so i am sure that soon enough it will be all good, sidehops very well, nailed one of my largest sidehops to rear today which made me happy. The handle bars felt very strange after coming from trialtech risers but after an hour or so i had got used to them and they feel realy nice, makes the front end a little higher which in tern makes the riding position very comfortable (for my tall self) especialy when just moving around on 2 wheels on rocks etc, Overall i am realy pleased to have got the chance to ride for Rockman and feel that the frame and bar suit my riding very well.

Enjoy.

Adam
