AdamR28 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Looks like GU ST or Czar Long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 You know what I'm going to say Davey. If you're going to get another koxx, get a Hydroxx, the XTPs are too weak IMO.Thought about a Bionic? They seem pretty decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Why are you not interested in the Rockman Frame Dave? Just curious thats all.....Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Is expecting "BB is too high".To add to Adams suggestions, you're also looking at Neon, Bionic, Zhi or Rulong. You can check pics out on www.biketrialstation.com and Zhi-Chris can order them for you. Think it's £150 for a Rulong, or £180 for the others.

andyb Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Dont do it Dave!!!!! Dual hs33 is the way to go!Wouldnt expect that the rockman bb is too high, he has an xtp 2 at the moment remember and that is very high bb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 True, only 9mm higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 9mm on top of a +65 bb is a fair old wack though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't your XTP short? Also, Gu feels longer than it looks and says. It's a pretty nice ride. I found the Czar long to be a hard ride for me though. One of my mates has one and I would take my A3 over it even though his had dd. And my A3 is long. Also, the Hydroxx is hydroformed thus making it stronger that the XTP.

bigamac Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Still ugly??Ignore the white tyres, what u recon?AdamI want that now. With the tyres.Looooooks lush. How much is that gonna set someone back?and the only frames i can think of that are double disk are CZAR and a Monty Kamel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Still ugly??Ignore the white tyres, what u recon?AdamTo me it is. I think it's just the frame. If they would have went for the same style as the stock it would have been cool. But it just looks to straight to me. No bending of the top or downtube.

Bol Maaaaaaing Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 CZAR frames are good.If it can handle me, a hard out noob, then it can handle a pro like you!Thats right, I'm a suck up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) I like the Rockman Aurem, but my one and only quirk with them is the lack of 'solid' chainstay yokes. Actually, recently, almost all new mod frames have come with exceedingly 'cheap' looking chainstay yokes. Just look at all the current Bionic and Zhi frames and compare them to when the first gen Zhi ZM1 (which was based straight off the 2005 YZ Python)Also, the current 2009 Python, comparing the chainstay yokes of 2007, 2006, 2005, and heck, even 2004! Worst to date, If the Aurem had a decent solid chainstay yoke (forged, CNC'd, anything is fine) that looked nice, simple, and sophisticated whilst offering a stiffer drive and greater durability against slipped hops; then I'd be damn tempted. Adam, if you could pass this onto the head honchos over at Rock, then that'd be awesome. Maybe it's a little late to change the first batches now, but at least in future the next batches can have this improvement. I am sure this would attract more buyers too.EDIT: On topic: Dave, the GU ST I had measured out to be 1035mm. The Paper measurements are just simple specs. It all depends on the fork you use and how far back in the dropout you set your axle. It's only cramped if you're used to riding Pythons like I was. Otherwise it's an amazing frame Edited March 29, 2009 by Sponge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 If it helps at all, those dropouts look similar(ish, a little more 'solid' if anything) to those on the '04 Echos/'06 Pure, which were plenty sturdy enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
