Laurence--Trials Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 As far as i know no one has baught one. I'd be the first if i could get a wheels bars stem and things for it. I think the bike is gorgeous - I WANT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupintart Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 IINM it has the same geometry as an Inspired, only a shorter front end. So it would feel pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the wheelbase was something like 1060, just looked on tarty and it states 1040 thats weird. I cant see it feeling anything like an inspired the stays are a lot shorter and the bb is a lot higher.. Wouldn't want one if it was like an inspired.

Revolver Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 They sold really really quick. I can't help but think they barely got any in though. According to Mark and Ali, it has the rolling power of a stock (nearly) and the flickiness and gapping feel of a mod (nearly). Something like that.

And this is why i want one i think they would be the perfect bike for trials.. They sold out and not one of them has been on here !? Weird..

MikeCottTrials Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I really like the idea of these frames, just waiting for some customer feedback before I make any serious moves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I like the idea, I just think the BB is too high. Also, I'm getting along just fine with my zoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 the bb is too high for my liking, made the bike ride strangely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i like cunning stunts Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 the bb is too high for my liking, made the bike ride strangely. How strange though? I think you would need atleast a good days riding on one to figure out what are the pros and cons.. I had a 24 Marino built similar to Damons one but that was super long was 1085 bit of an experiment but because of the s**t tensioner design on it which broke after 5 mins i couldn't really get a feel for the bike. From what i did do on it, it certainly had potential but being made of steel certainly didnt help it, i wonder if anyone on here has still got it or is damons still about.? ( Mine was a white one super long for a 24 someone should recognise it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 the bb is too high for my liking, made the bike ride strangely. Haha, I thought as much. It looks like they tried to copy a mod's BB rise, but a 24" is closer to a stock so it's not going to work. I think +50 is where the money's at. Word has it the rockman 24" is going to be +60 though.

Mark W Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Haha, I thought as much. Meh, Ali's just afraid of change In related news though, we actually got a few more of these in today in a new Because/Neon shipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 You should get these in - http://www.tobuytrial.com/kabra-f24-p-23.html?language=en A bit more manageable BB height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
