Endohopper Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Had this frame for about 6 months now and am very comfortable on it , having always wanted to find one of these sadly discontinued beauties . Recently added a whole bunch of shiny componentry in anticipation of a good Summer's riding . Wasn't terribly keen on the Koxx graphics , so whited ' em all except that glorious laquered toptube . The previous owner felt it necessary to drill the headtube ( former ) flagship model competition frame too heavy for you , Sir ? V brakes and a King hub , so why the Hell can't I ride as smoothly as Felix Mucke now ? :$ Comments / death threats / marriage proposals ?

Dan Clark Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I love those frames so much. Bike looks beautiful, I'm not normally a fan of excessive coloured parts, but it looks nice on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 New blue front rim, decent vee booster and some higher rise bars and that will be perfect in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyota200x Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 One of my favorite frames too. Can I get a side shot of the V brake setup? Great looking bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 GODDDD that's so nice! What I'd do for one of those frames! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Wow, absolute pimp setup right there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Still the best looking frame Koxx have ever made in my opinion, so simple and not garish like many of their more recent incarnations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 One of my favorite frames too. Can I get a side shot of the V brake setup? Great looking bike! Thanks ! Behold : Onza adaptors and my trusty old blue booster , literally used on every trials bike I've owned since probably the early 90's ! Plenty of controllable stoppin' power , even without exotic pads . These are just the generic clear Barradine / trialtech ones chewing on a semi sharp grind : I wonder if Mr.Clarkson's approval is related to my rejection of hydraulics ?

Ali C Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 there is that reason, but I also like those frames and the look of the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgnoseat Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Very nice! Was suprised to see you on this frame at the event in eindhoven yesterday, thought you were still riding your base. The white and blue combination is sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Just out of interest, is that the same rear wheel you had on your (insert frame name here) around 2005/2006? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 those Karbon's are absolute porn! They sure were / are . You're from Holland- whereabouts ? I'm in Den Haag , pop me a PM if you wanna ride some time. Mr. Greetings - I've run those rims forever although only a year or so ago did I build it onto a :king: before then it was all Hopes ( often bought through our very own for sale forum .) My beloved Base frames only just accepted those absurdly wide Try All rims and I had to contend with major V brake arm protrusion , but they offered massive stability . I recently sold the Karbon to a beginning rider , thus ensuring good trials Karma for this season ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solasaurous Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Whats it like running dual vees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I had one of these in 2007-2008 with dual vees! This spring, i bought TRA's old frame and built it up. Seriously the best frames ever Dual Vees are good! Rear vees have extremely good hold, but not soo good bite as a Maggie. Front vees have good bite and hold.

rupintart Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 That booster isn't necessary on that frame although, if it's already on there... Sweet bike though. Only word of caution though is keep an eye on those adapter mounts. I've snapped two in a just under a years time. And if you go to anything with a CNC backing, sans maybe the TNN ones with the recessed cone washer, you'll be using the outer mounting hole, which makes it even more susceptible to snappage from leverage. Sweet bike though, I also have one and she rides like a dream!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I love how your bikes always seem to be around 6-8 years out of date Not so long a go you still had a seat if I remember correctly She's a beaut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
