Long Mod


Simpson

Recommended Posts

Looking for a Long mod with a high BB, Ideally

Wheelbase: 1025mm

Chainstay Length: 362mm

BB Rise: +85mm

Head Angle: 71.5 degrees

Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 620mm

And yes I know that that's the same geometry as a maladie! I freeking love the frame but its so close to being in 2 peices and I destroyed it first ride, but it rides so so well I'm not sure wether anything else is going to replace it, Also need another frame to take on the 24 tour as a backup for when it does finally die.

So any ideas would be greatly appriciated, because I am literally up shit creek at the moment.

Monsterboy. My mate has one, and if it had a properly long wheelbase (1050ish), it'd be my perfect mod.

If you are after a spare frame, I have a T-Lite I need to shift? It's the short version though, so 990, +50 and mega short stays.

Zips ride so nicely... Mine was the geo you've got listed in your original post but +55 or +60. Worked out as being either 1035mm or 1045mm long. That frame was a whopper though. Had it in my TGS phase and it was swish for that kind of business.

Wasn't yours a proto though? Mine is a later one. 1053WB and +50bb when I measured it.

Nah, mine was production. Had the proto FallGuy forks on though which mixed things up a bit. Had a proto long T-Lite that was around 1035mm with a 350mm back end though. That was interesting.

FunFact: Swapped that frame with Will Arnold for a T-Pro, and we both cracked our respective new frames on the same day as each other.

Neon's are shite had one before and it ate itself, if a company can't think to design their frames propperly then I aint buying one.

And Zona Zips are just tankly, I mean I'm no uber light comp boy but I'm no weight lifter either!

What the f**k if this shit about? You changed frames?! After like 5 years of running the same Zona?

Didn't you know!? I bought a Neon conquereoroeoroer frame off my mate for £80. I fancied a change! :P

It's shorter than the Zona, but doesn't feel it. It's much lighter too! But now has a slightly flared headtube as my Chris King has started to fall apart and I stupidly rode with it loose!

Either going back to the Zona, or build my mate's spare T-Pro...
