isitafox Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Cheaper though... Personally it seems like step backwards in a few respects... Mod stock spacing Bland and uninteresting graphics. The red and orange sky were works of art! Not a really low weight? 1.6kgs is more average nowadays... Definately, the red sky was an absolute thing of beauty!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3dd Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Why everyone is talking about how they look like. Nice, simple frame shape, simple colour - probably a perfect comp owning machine! Its what's inside that matters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, simple frame shape, simple colour - probably a perfect comp owning machine! Its what's inside that matters! Cant agree any more built for what it does, since when looks are more important than form, looks dont help you improve do they? If they had a choice £XXXXXXX amount for a budget for manufacturing bikes and customers to buy They and we Spend £XXX on better geo and stronger/lighter materials/parts and dosent look great and lasts ORRRR They and we Spend £XXX on paint/ stickers names colour schemes and rides like crap snaps breaks like last few models you pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 They're nice and simple, though I still couldn't justify the price tags Koxx charge on their frames, that's just me I guess. Clothing, cars, and other accessories I'd be more comfortable with buying from a world famous brand though... Ahh, the 2010 Skys looked brilliant! Still, it's interesting to view the constant progression of trials geometry and design trends! Gone are the days of CNC'd behemoths and high BB frames with less choice of compatible steering parts to make it feel 'right'! Ahh 2006..

Chris Elson Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 +70 bb sounds amazing. high bb for the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Elson Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Iv just seen a recent picture of the new 26, and it looks like vince is running a much higher and longer stem to accommodate for the high bb. i remember riding the vinco once which had a +80 bb i think with a mod stem, it felt sooo nice.. maybe these 26" frames wont ride as bad as some people think...

Super low front end surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dd Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) oh my god! Look at that thing! It looks even longer than mod stem! That does remind me of vinco too... Back to the future? LINK! And he is running those proto carbon forks again? Edited December 17, 2010 by 3dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty99 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Headset Semi-integrated well, why would that be ? a trials shop in my area had ~5 complete sky bikes (different colours) delivered which were "pre-cracked" were headset is fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Burrows Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 It's a sad day when stock geo becomes so extreme that you have to use a mod stem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 In a sense, yes, but if you look at a more 'normal' stock from this year compared to a stock from 10 years ago, things have changed a reasonable amount. I'm not saying I'd want to run a +70mm BB, I'm just saying that people have to be open for change as things evolve (or devolve, depending on how you look at things ).

eskimo Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 At a second look, i am definitely liking the finish. Though all them pictures are pretty shite, so it's hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 What's wrong with a +70 bb? Nobody is going to come down to your house, point a gun at your face and order you to ride one of these. Don't like it, don't buy it. Probably going to be stupidly overpriced anyway.

Franksx2005 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 When they used thier own material the price was kind of justified, but now they are using a type which was used on my 1997 monty i cant see how they can justify that price tag.
