Ashton Frames

I think the effect looks good, but why no 4bolts when the Justice does have them? Is there any disadvantage to having disc and 4bolt mounts (other than a tiny bit of weight)?

I just hope people won't assume they are the same quality as the plain Diamondback frames.

Because you can run a maggy fine on v mounts, that's the way it was for about 8 years, and you can run a v with out using silly flexy ugly adapters which are ultimately still bolted on by the same flimsy pathetic m5 bolts.....Think alot of young kids have never seen brake bosses and assume they're v only.

Who knows why it's different on both frames, but i'd say the justice will attract those more likely to use a 6 inch wide rim and no rear v.

I personally hate 4 bolt so it's all good, if you want a magura on it, use the normal mounts you get when you buy the brake.

Shame about the forks though, how many people actually use a front magura compare to front v users? Again seems a bit silly

yeah i see what leons getting at but maybe it would of been a good idea to do what (i think it was leeson or 24uk) did and have all 3 mounts, just one on the inside triangle, and one on the outside like normal. boo hoo to the weight freaks but its only a tincy wincy bot more weight and can easily be welded off.

but yeah i really like these personally

The effect is nice, they will be using the dropout/disc mount on the prototypes so thats good! But the colours dont work. Blue with white forks and graphics would be lush. The justice looks good too like the colours and it has the look of the original which is a good thing. Just hope they get the last few details sorted out soon

Question for anyone who has had a Justice in the past... if you remove the seat thingy do you end up with 4 tabs sticking up to catch you bollox on? :) Not keen on the seat myself, but like the frame and colours... although i would love a white and black version.

Mate I know you're in your 40's but surely your balls don't sag that low ;)

Regarding the 2 bolt/ 4 bolt thing, pretty sure there aren't any other 2 bolts on the market (other than marino obviously) so maybe Ashton is hitting up gap in the market.

I do like the effect paintjob, not keen on the justice though.
