Stan Shaw Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Built this up yesterday, but with a rear V-Brake for a change. As you can imagine, Ali got quite excited about that. You can have a HS33 rear brake though too. We were quite happy with the spec, quite a good weight too, considering it has real tyres on Tyre clearance is good too, around 3-4mm all around on the frame. Full spec on the site. Weight: 9.66kg Edited February 12, 2010 by Stan Shaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetrial Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Yup! That is nice. Not too keen on the green... (but it looks mean....) Great to finally see a seatless frame with canti bosses. Stiff enough without adding a booster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hitcher Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Seems like every other week a new Rockman frame appears. Looks the same as there others but green... not doing much for me really. Again graphics look gash.

Mark W Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 In the flesh, apart from the "Slate II" bit looking like it says "Slate It", the graphics look alright on it. My fave Rockman graphics by miles and miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fave Rockman graphics by miles and miles. How many frames do Rockman have out at the moment? Must be a fair few. I think the best graphics were on that Akali frame, but still not blown away by them, wheres the good old days of just wacking the company name on the downtube, Lol.

Greetings Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 All Rockmans are simply beautiful, this is no exception. Good work with getting the colour code to fit the green frame, it's not easy. Definitely getting myself one of these in the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatpro Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 nice one! must be pretty light!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 9.66kg, which isn't too bad considering it's got some awesome tyres on there (whereas a lot of 'light' builds seem to spec shit tyres just to save weight...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraPalmer Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 could you please measure the exact geo, as depending on various sources it´s 1085 (with 35mm ralke), 72 (which i also would appriciate compared to 71,5), 380 and +45 or +55 - which makes a big difference to me...

LauraPalmer Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 That's a 35mm fork, the bike is 1095, +55, 71.0. thanks for the super fast answer! - no matter if mail or forum - you are so faaaaaaaaast! ok, with 71.0 and 1095 the reach must be quite short for such a long bike... I would have wished it was a little shorter with a little more ha :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.McMillan Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Thats a Really nice frame!!, Looks cool with the v Brake I suppose you can finely tune it better than a magura, and you have no cross over to break Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
