bikeperson45 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 They've ruined it for me. Makes it look like the cheap Diamondback stuff. Ruined it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Green looks yummy.But the other shizzle makes it to much going on at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spektrum Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 The green one looks hideous, makes me happy i got my fourplay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) I prefer the green one.Dark blue and black should never be seen...Or is that red and green?-Ooops made that mistake already.As for the Justice! (My Boxx is just about dead) I'm gettin it! Plus...Can someone please give us an idea on the geo for both the Effect and Justice-Resolve? Surly Ashton should be able to confirm that now?

mintsauce Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'm just getting a bit worried that Rowan might have been whispering in Martyn's ear that rear brakes are for wimps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) WTF? The green color ruled! Why did they change it? That is so stupid! And I mean, they have changed the fork, the stem, and now it looks like a kid's bike! SHIT! I was dreaming of one, and now it makes me sick... I am so disappointed I hope they will sell both colors... Edited June 17, 2009 by Canardweb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I should say to above ... The stem was a hope team issue job on the green one, which is a fully pimped out team bike with team spray job based on the theme for the bikes ( ie the stripes ) the blue/black bike is specced up like the complete bike would be (retailing pretty darn cheaply) and as such is never going to look so spangly. just as mine looks pertty spangly in the same way ... The forks on MAs bike are echo's as none were available at the time ... the final versions will be disc only jobbies.Dropouts on the effect will be as the team bike and the geo will be as the prototypes - which is roughly ET geo... 385 1020-30 ish +20ish bb all pretty fork dependant ... of which I only have the fairly long inspired fork.I actually prefer this paintjob to the green one - especially for the bike/spec it is going on... The frameset paintjob is going to be a fairly stealth black / grey affair so should make some sweet builds.geo for the justice is going to be the medium one we tested - the one Martyn is riding (and I believe very similar to the proto that Ali rode) at 1080/5 ? 380 +30 ? which actually does ride really well ...EDIT - there WILL be a rear brake !! Oh and how quickly things change - when they came out people were up in arms against the spray jobs !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew C Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) WHY? It looks like a cheap peice of plastic now. The hole reason i liked that bike was the paint job. Edited June 17, 2009 by Andrew C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I never have liked the Diamondback brand to begin with, even their 'high end' stuff seems like cheap churned out trash, to be fair.The brand just doesn't have a winning look to it.Once Ashton separates from Diamondback, which'll happen sooner or later some day, that'll be brilliant for ABikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Owen. Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I think if you take into consideration the price, it looks awsome!You cant expect a sub 500 pound bike to look like Rowans one, which is full of Hope team goodies!Aimed at someone who doesnt want to spend 1300 odd on an inspired full build, it looks perfect!Will deffinately consider one of these if my Leeson breaks.Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Aye Rowan,Cheers for clearing the Justice geometry up...Same as the Atomz and Yaabaa then.As for your people changing minds comment, I think your right, I have changed my mind on the paint jobs. I didnt like the green one to begin with, now I do. I didnt like the Justice paint job but now I like the updated one.Will there be only one colour scheme for each bike? Red and white for the 26 and black and blue for the 24? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeperson45 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Can't really argue on a reasonably decent speced bike for £500, but I just hate the blue look. Still want one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
