Mist Chimera

Recommended Posts

Well here is my new bike. Every components transplanted on the Mist Chimera frame. This bike just feels very natural so I almost immediatly got on with it. I think I finally found what I was looking for. Feels much better for gaps, sidehops taps and bunnys. SO basically everything. Transfers to front wheel are also awesome. I have ridden it once, but I have improved with it! Not in terms of height but in smoothness.

Verified Geo: 1090; +50; 379; 71,5°

Just awesome, I think shorter and lower is a better now.

Weight: 8,8kilos.

Seriously? How many bikes have you had this year?

Nice though.

In one year and a half of riding:

MAD Phase 1.2, Onza Limey 3, Echo Control 2009, Bionic B5R, Neon Bow 3, Marino, and now the Mist. It took time to know what i really wanted.

Heard that before... :rolleyes:

Looks tidy though dude, nice work.

Yes I know, but wanting a comp geo was wrong all the way though. I feel much better on a shorter bike with lower BB. Honestly, I have never had a bike that I felt that confident on, before that one.

Thanks to all.

How much are they? Where are they sold?

Trialparts sells them mate 350 euros and you get fork + frame.

I would hardly say 1090 with a +50 bb is anywhere near short and low compared to anything compy.... It's pretty much bang on comp geo.

I thought Comp meant more than 55 and around 1100. As you like then. It feels much better than the 1100 WB and the +70 BB I had on the MArino. Plus I couldn't tap with the marino. Dunno why but it didn't responded.

That's gorgeous!

Thanks Hannah.

Yes I have seen your setup. Really nice, except for the rear rim that holds grind like cheese. I prefer my Tarty stem though. I have removed a spacer too, so now it's just good. What do you think of the frame after using it for...?

:$

that is one nice tidy bike dude

Thanks man!
