Rusevelt Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) So what is the name of this new Rockman steed 'Green Hornet' ? On a serious note, it does look swish with that green paint job Edited January 20, 2011 by Rusevelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Leech Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 the point where the front bashplate mount is welded to the DT and the Hyrdoforming forms a corner looks like it could be weak spot; especially as the DT will be under tension most of the time.. I've got to disagree with this statement, i agree that it could be a weak point, but only for the simple fact that they've welded the bash mount on there. Corners really only cause a problem if they come to a sharp point, and they look quite smooth to me. Not trying to support rockmans choices btw, dont really like the frame myself. Would be nice if rockman had gone out of their way to make the tubes, but it seems that most companies prefer the old catalog approach these days. Cheers, Josh. Oh, and I think it should be called the humpty dumpty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Looks completely random, like it's been in an accident. Not that I'm slating the idea, it's different but it still needs some thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukasMcNeal Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I like it sort of, but the crappy rockman decals look tacky and the font is bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 looks very pointless to me unless its has a total differnt geo from the aruem and maness that down tube just look like fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 At least there trying to be different there's only so much you can do with 2 tubes. I personally don't like it all that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran@ZSClothing Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 It's called a seat tube, which doesn't really apply to most trials bikes these days In other news: ROCKMAN! PRE-DENTED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I have a 26" version of this frame at home. It was made for Neil Tunni before he decided to stay with Zoo. The frame looks pretty cool and I think its nice to see something a little different but I'm sure Ali will disagree....... I believe the frames have just been made for testing pruposes, Rockman wanted to see how tubes shaped like this would hold up. As for "Rockman being a rude company" they're pretty busy over in Singapore and just because they dont reply to every kid and his dog that ask for sponsorship it does not make them rude. Rockman isnt a massive company and they do their best to reply to emails promptly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Is your 26in version built up and have you got any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 The frame looks pretty cool and I think its nice to see something a little different but I'm sure Ali will disagree....... little harsh.. I know it's tricky to make frames different, but these tubes don't look like they have taken much advantage of hydroforming, They could have made the tubes join so there is more contact between them to make things stiffer or something, as it stands they are just weird shaped tubes with more chance of cracking. I think it could have been pulled off better that's all. Maybe if the downtube was the other way round, perhaps the two tubes could be welded for most of their length untill the tube tapers away, that would look different and make the front end stiffer too.

G_! Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 i received a email from Rockman Bikes, they said.. "it's just for testing and what do riders think of hydroforming tubes for trials.. This frame will not be coming out but it will be lead to a new frame.."

JD™ Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 That wouldn't actually look that bad built up if it wasn't for that bash mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
