walker Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Also built this one up today I've just transferred all of the parts over from the old one. Again, sorry for the truly terrible pictures. As Ben was saying, it really does ride really well, but I'm yet to give it a proper blast as I've been a bit preoccupied with the Switch! Pictures: Spec Frame: Rockman SlateII Forks: Monty 231ti Disk only Front Wheel: TrialTech Sport on Rockman BUB hub, sapim spokes Rear Wheel: Trialtech Sport rim on RockHub fixed, sapim spokes Tyres: Continentals - Rubber Queen 2.4 rear, 2.2 Supersonic front Stem: Monty 231ti Handlebars: RockBar Black Cranks: Rockman with Rockwheel freewheel Pedals: Monty cage BB: FSA Platinum Pro Headset: Ritchey Front Brake: Hope Mono Trial 160mm Monty version Rear Brake: Magura HS33 with CNC Phatpads on a dead gind - works amazing! Not sure on the weight, but the frame is a touch lighter than the first slate - which was 9.5kg as a full build. Ben's is probably a better build, check it out here Thanks Andy OUT Edited January 23, 2010 by walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 As with almost all their frames though, the frame alone looks much better than a full build. There just aren't enough pretty parts to go with such a nice piece of design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogdan_vtt Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 i think the stem is 145mm x 26°: 186g, did u had problems, cracking or smthing else? or is it your old one from monty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
