Ash-Kennard Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 You'd get tired of that really quickly... As said before, if you're going to do streety trials what's wrong with a 24"?i cant use 24" wheels, like i really cant. 20" I CAN DEAL WITH, 26 IS SICK, BUT 24", I JSUT CAN UP, AS YOU KNOW DAVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Fel Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Less flicky..... for sure.26" at 1030-40 odd would be shit, basically an onza woodstock length? That fits the bill for Kuelmuel don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) I already have 2, and another project on the way. No more space for the project one when it's in one piece, let alone a fourth...I have a Simtra with the perfect spec for me, I havn't got time, money or patience to be rebuilding wheels and getting new rims/tyres/spokes etc. It makes more sense to get a frame that I can swap back and forth easily.Also I ideally want to scale down my operation and get money out, not put more in. EDIT: Hmmmm, woodstock..... Edited December 14, 2009 by Muel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I think the problem with that is, if you try and ride the streety trials bike with the fully trials spec kitlike wheels and tyres you won't ride it any differently and willget frustrated about it's lack of pure trials ability...And dave - nothing wrong with 24 but 26 lends itself to more trialsy street and is therefore a bit easier to enjoy and get into formost hoppers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trialsben Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 How about a Monty Urban?Couldn't get on with my KOT so swapped back to an '07 Urban and it rides really nice in an old skool kind of way. Got a proper seat-tube with a built in clamp and comes with v and disc mounts. Not too sure on the geo. though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Shrewsbury Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I miss riding my megamo which i rode pretty well. But then dave came along with these inspired frames and felt like goin bk to 24 because they looked simple and clean. If dave does a 26inch inspired id jump straight in there. Just have to wait and see wat happends with the bike brands out there, if not i may go bk to my megamo as i do love that frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I like my Levelboss for street, think the 1060 wheelbase is pretty much right, if it had a seat even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan_echo26 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Keep an eye out for a new rockman frame, 26inch and similar geo to the old echo pure (1060, +10, 72deg, 385mm) it may also be available with Vee mounts!!AdamI have an 06 Echo Pure, Its really nice for all that streety kind of stuff. Mine is 1070 though not 1060 (and it has vee mounts ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoolax Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) rockman is coming up with a new frame named SWITCH for the 26. Comes in Vs with disc or Maguras with disc. No sure bout its geometry or price,but from some pics i saw it looks short and good =) and it uses nice looking round tubing which looks real clean.check out herehttp://attitudebikes.wordpress.com/2009/12...rockman-switch/ Edited December 15, 2009 by snoolax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason222 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Seat tube looks too long...I don't see why people even want a seat on a street trials bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 To A. Sit down. And B. Look like a normal effing bike.I hope the rockman comes with a hacksaw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasil Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) Magellan Tucana model 2005. These are from Hungary. Aluminium. Seat.Geo: wheelbase: 1075 mm stays: 385 mm BB: +10 head: 72 degreesprice: 16.500 ft = 54.41 pounds .... cheap as hell. Why? Bad quality? NO. But people ride bikes without seat and with 4 bolt mounts. Maybe you can find a 2006 model. I think those have 4-bolt mounts. Check out here: http://biketrial.hu/shop/?do=termek&id=383You may contact the dealer to find out if they are willing to ship.Good luck.PS: I had one of these and they ride pretty well. Only thing I hate was the 2 bolt mounts. So shity with a magura. Edited December 15, 2009 by Vasil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I hope the rockman comes with a hacksaw?It really makes me wonder the sorts of people who are designing these frames... I mean, come on?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 <snip>Cheers for the idea, but the geo is too close to my Simtra. A Brisa could work, if i could find one in one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Keep an eye out for a new rockman frame, 26inch and similar geo to the old echo pure (1060, +10, 72deg, 385mm) it may also be available with Vee mounts!!AdamSo far I think it's gonna be an 04 pure, if I can find one....Do it, paint it blue and slap an original Echo sticker set on it. Nicest bike. Ever. After my Pure the best riding frame I've had since is my Justice, really nice bike to ride. Just hasn't got a seat like your after thou Sam.

Ross McArthur Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 That Rockman looks ok actually. Obviously the seat tube is far too long and would need'a chomping but I like the shape of the tubes and the frame isnt too low. Decals are acceptable in my eyes aswell.Price?

snoolax Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 should be not much effort is cutting the seat tupe lower,anyway if u were to stuff the whole post in the seat would most prob be alight with the highest height of the ear wheel too cause this is a 26" frame.not sure bout the price yet, or even geometry. Rockman's site is not updated with it.hope my local shop update soon.IMO it will feel like a norco with neutral like slight BB raise, except its alu and its designed for a rigid for an HS33, Vs and disccmounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Seat tube looks long but is actually fine because you wanna run a saddle height that you can actually sit on where the lowest saddle height is slightly above the height of the tyres, any lower and it may as well be seatless. Cant wait to adam build one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait to adam build one up.I think that's the point though, if that's the lowest the seat will go then make the other tubes match up ... It won't make any difference to how the bike rides like harder to tuck etc. It will just look a whole lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
