Revolver Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Thems be pricey. Does that mean you're getting them in? What sort of... pricey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I can't remember what Ads decided in the end. If we do, I doubt it'd be that many. I don't think I'm allowed to say how much the RRP is yet 'cos we were working on a vague kinda conversion to what we thought it'd be, so I wouldn't want to commit to anything...

Revolver Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) What about, say... £400? Basically, I'd like to preorder one, providing it's not ridiculously expensive. That said... even at £400, if you're only going to get in a couple, then the chances of being able to try one to see if it's worth buying one are pretty slim, and the chances of that happening before all of them disappear is even less. It's a shame, that, it's a really nice design and the geo looks better than the because, to me. Edited March 11, 2010 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I like ALOT. Get them Adam and I WILL have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 WOW! they both look soooooo nice, I would actually buy one if I had the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Yoshi Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 The frame cost 600 euro's in spain. 1800 for a full build. Prices from www.tobuytrial.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 600 euros?! With the exchange rate being a load of shit, that's pretty much £600. Ha... I'm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Direct conversion is £544, but yeah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Direct conversion is £544, but yeah... Well, it would be closer to £600 if you included postage. Haha, quite unusual - the rockman frame will be cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 £544 f**k that, I retract my earlier statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 From experience, about 99% of people who say "Get them in, I'm going to buy one!" don't... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Believe if it was a more reasonable price I would be the 1% but £544 is just f**ked up. That is why I will never buy a Koxx, Rockman, Fans or Monty frame new. If it was the same price as my skull was I would snap one up, but even the price of the Limey 320 is a farce, esp. as my new ZOO! Lynx is way nicer and way cheaper. I think manufacturers are starting to take the piss. Mark, you should know how much I spend on trials shit but even I am not falling for this gag.

Mark W Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Your Lynx is also incredibly cheap to make compared to something like any of the Sky frames, or most other top end frames. Monty's prices are needlessly high, but that's because of the position they hold in the biketrials and mototrials markets. But yeah, comparing frames that are nothing alike and saying "But Frame A is £X so Frame B should be too!" just doesn't mean anything. Should probably also bear in mind that these Kabra frames aren't just some catalogue item from Taiwan. Hell, they're not even from Taiwan, or "Singapore"... EDIT: Just as a quick side note, I don't really get why this frame is so expensive either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Agreed they are probably not catalogue frames or even made in taiwan but still. It's a shame, if companies price 24" "proper trials" frames too high they just are not gonna sell and it will be ta ta 24 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 They're made in Spain. I don't think 24" TGS frames taking off or not is really going to affect the 24" market as a whole. There's never been so many 24" riders out there, and there are more 24" specific parts being made all the time. Whether the frames have seats on or not isn't really going to affect it too much. It'd be cool if it does take off because it's always interesting to see what can be done, but I don't think it'll really affect the 24" market as a whole, or make it go 'ta ta' if it doesn't really work out. Bearing in mind 24" bikes are now UCI legal, I'd imagine some of the bigger players have plans... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'm not talking about 24" bikes in general I think that market is here to stay. I hope these bigger players do get in on it I think 24" trials has a place in the market as there has to be many people out there that feel 20" is too small / too weird but a 26" is too big.
