monty221ti Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 hi there, I think that i will buy a rockman björn soon. but i want to know your thoughts about it, so is it good for natural/competition? and will a echo sl hub fit in it? Cheers Erik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiuSliS Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hub will fit. Don't know how tall are you but WB seems longish for natural/comp riding. Of course that's up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiuSliS Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'll ask you other way around. Why do YOU want to buy this frame? Be just a little bit more specific what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty221ti Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 i tried one i sweden and i really liked it, it feels a little short from the bb to the backwheel if you understand, and the front end wasnt so high, + it looks so nice:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birre Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 i might be somewhat partial:P but natural comps is what it´s made for! and i guess it was my bike you tried? with rockman forks the WB is 1013mm and not 1025mm as stated on tarty with some other fork.. i also got the bike you tried for sale 4 months used with loads of new parts on..

AdamR28 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 with rockman forks the WB is 1013mm and not 1025mm as stated on tarty with some other fork.. Yeah, the Rockman forks have less offset so that makes the wheelbase shorter... But it's only really a number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty221ti Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 i tried joacims in area when we was there:) i will se what bike it gonna be, but the björn is very tempting:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I have a Bjorn frame for sale. I was going to ride one of these but then decided to ride a Manus as it was a little shorter. The frame is for sale on EBAY, check out the link below. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Rockman-Bjorn-20-trials-frame-4-onza-koxx-riders-/200578820100?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item2eb36de804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
