forteh Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 hi am thinking about geting one ov these frames just wounderd if any one has one and what do they ride like? and what size rim i would need to run on the backthanksVery high BB, very short reach, longish wheelbase. They sit on the back wheel very well but in the end they dont really let your riding progress as the geometry is too radical. My bike control improved alot once I moved to a lower BB frame.Also very heavy, think the frame is about 2.2kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rab shropshire Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I have a hifi and I love it the bb is quite high but I dont think it matters once you get used to it oh and I have a 47mm rim on the back and it fits no problem. Hope this helps if you need anymore info give me a shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veg_life Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 i rode a hi fi like a 1 year or more, and i love it. the control its something you can work in...mmm you can run the normal set up on back wheel ...rim 47mm whit a maxxis minion 2.4 fits fine....and the weight its 1,8 ....i miss that frame a lot, go for it !

Ali C Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 in the 11 years I have been riding, the Hifi was the worst trials specific frame I have had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver gu Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 i thought the hi-fi frame was an alrighty frame, pretty high rise bb. but is a nice frame looks pretty good as well.also i rode ti with a mod zoo stem cant remeber the rise but was pretty steep. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
