Mark W Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Although I still reckon the red/black colourway looks better, this bike rides really nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 With you on the red/black colourway with a set of Trialtech forks and that would look pretty damn nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialZonn Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I reckon that this is a good looking bike! I like it!And agree with you that the black/red combination would look even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickdonboy Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Looks like a cheap, tacky version of a Rockman frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Midget Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 looks like theyve sorted out the chain rubbing or should i say cutting the frame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoli Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 nice frame, not very nice paintjob btw this isn't de v2.5, it's de 2010 version ( http://www.neonbike.com/ShowPro.asp?ArticleID=84 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pecha_cat Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 frame isn't, paintjob is. yeah, i dont like that asian artwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclip Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 looks weak around the bb area? from rider to rider (not because your job is to sell these) what would your view be about this? I liked the original neon bow they ride so nice im sure these will be as nice, would have been tempted if I hadent found a cheap yaabaa, what dose the black and white look like in the flesh? maybe if they dont all snap ill get one. I for one like the artwork and think this frame stands out well and gives it a edge over some of the other frames on there, if you lined up this frame with some of the other frames on tarty id say itd look better than most of the others whilst staying kinda simple the artwork sets it off and works well with the shape of the frame. why cant they make frames like koxx used too and send them with the paint work and the stickers on a sheet so you can make it how you want it? last note, I dont find it looks anything like a rockman other than the top end but hardly, however it kinda reminded me of that black and gold monty.......

Mark W Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 The yoke itself is fairly thin between the stays and the BB shell, but it's usually on the welds they go so that shouldn't factor in too much. There's gussets on all sides of it, and even the additional one on the driveside of the yoke. I can't really see it being too much of a problem, but who knows - it's tricky to just guess where a frame will break. I don't really think it looks very Rockman-y either, especially not in the flesh. There are pretty clear differences between how Rockman and Neon go about making frames. The white/black colourway looks awesome. Maybe my favourite of the three. I really liked the matte red/black colourway, but the matte white finish looks too good. It compliments the graphics best too. In terms of the stickersheets and stuff, these stickers aren't like those Koxx decals in that they're water transfers or something along those lines, so they aren't just normal decals. They've got a way nicer finish, and they just look better. It sort of limits how you can really customise your own setup, but they do look way nicer straight out of the box.

onzatrip Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Looks nice just cant to help that they got a curve a took the middle out so has two tubes instead of one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 The profile of the tubes is quite a lot different when you see it in real life. It really doesn't look like any other frame around when you see it up close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
