casualjoe Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Rides pretty sweet so far. Still getting used to the back end being this light! Geo is similar to the Cannibal V3, also it runs very smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gu trials Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 that looks well nice and light do you know the exact weight ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Why the f**k is he still doing 360 dropouts with no inserts?! Looks like it needs a seat though dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Why the f**k is he still doing 360 dropouts with no inserts?! Looks like it needs a seat though dude i strongly suggest you make/buy some inserts for those dropouts, or they WILL get ruined! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualjoe Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Cheers guys!! Not sure of the weight, it has pretty standard trial bike spec apart from a slimmer back rim and tyre. i strongly suggest you make/buy some inserts for those dropouts, or they WILL get ruined! These dropouts are a bit simpler than the Leeson ones, I have to pry the rear triangles apart to get the wheel out, which was tricky at the start. They could still get ruined though I have no idea yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Raised effect with the decals on the downtube looks cool. Frame looks ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 They could still get ruined though I have no idea yet They're gonna get crushed the first time you land something wrong. Just look at Rainbird's S-24, or anyone who's run a Leeson without (Fatpants...) Won't be any hassle for someone with a lathe to make you some, get it done before you ruin the frame on the first ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualjoe Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Oh bugger! Poor Luke I never knew. Will get some asap cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Poor Luke for buying the frame full stop really, the lack of inserts was a minor thing compared to the rest of that abomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yeah, my frame is on its way back to Pete for a refund now as it unfortunately didn't match up to the claims. Rode nicely and in general wasn't too badly put together, but had some issues with the finishing details like the dropouts collapsing in on themselves at the sight of a wooden rail, and the brake bosses and mounts being different threads so they pulled straight out Get some inserts made up for those dropouts and you should get on just fine though dude, certainly looks the part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I agree it looks like it needs a seat. Not sure if its what you wanted but the top tube looks far too high, would like to look towards a bike from pete maself in future (unless I can grab a sponsor ) so like to see what he can do. Had a brief look at one of his bikes at the first british cup round and the workmanship did look top notch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) Woooah man, the tubing around the rear triangle looks bloody weak. Especially around the dropouts! Lets hope "casualjoe" is a smooth rider... Edit: I agree with Skoze, looks like it needs a seat.

Skoze Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Steel frame, tubes don't need to be huge like aluminium. I'd have got some braces in there though. Really do like the look of it actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualjoe Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Geo came out at 1070 +40, 377.5, 72.7* with brake mounts at 95mm and hub spacing at 128mm. I would have liked the top tube a little lower but I didn't actually ask for a frame size Anyhow, the frame should be stiffer like this I hope.

Mark W Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I don't think there were any photos of Luke's, but basically the piece that 'surrounds' (shit word) the axle bolt just folded up towards the axle bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Yeah unless someone got a pic on the roadtrip there won't be any I'm afraid - basically the bottom of the dropout folded itself up to the extent that it required bending back to get an allen key into the bolt head, let alone remove the bolt...

Scott Gibbs Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 This sounds like a major design flaw! Or am i being dense?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have these frames been released, or are they still in the testing stage? As I havn't seen them for sale anywhere?

They aren't a problem, just Pete's doing the whole 360 dropout thing wrong. Look at any Leeson compared to it; The inserts are what give it all the strength.

Revolver Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 What was the kind of paint you used for that? It's a really nice finish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) Raw frame painted with the stuff that G-Units spray their tail light lenses with. New one might get the same treatment if I ever feel like riding an artwork again Edited September 10, 2011 by Skoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
