RastaYak Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Which means good? No? Yes) But zero crack report can tell that frame is not popular... Like old viz forks in Russia, was 3-4 per whole country and zero crack reports... Everybody start buy it, and... They start crack one by one)) Hope you understand me, because my english is bad( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEELE1 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 i have that frame, i brought it 2nd hand from a mate. the condition of it is adverage, a few dents in the usual places, the threads on the magura mounts were mangled, but i re-tapped them, which lasted a few weeks, before stripping the threads when under load from the brakes landing a gap.. since then iv re-coiled new threads, and screwed studs in, and this seams to be fine.The quality of the frame is very good considering the price of it. the ride feel is light, with little flex. With the right build around it, it will be a very smart bike! ill get some pics up if you like? i would recomed this frame so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I used to ride one of these - they're good frames! Nice geometry, pretty light, pretty cheap - all good. If it's of any interest, there's an Atomz AKT full build on the Tarty countdown sale. It's about half-price now. May be worth a check if you're thinking of properly mixing up your setup EDIT: By OBM!
