Lewis Gething Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hi guys, I have been wondering this for a while now but never gotten round to posting on here about it. Why on Earth did Lengyel Adrian make the 'downgrade' in my opinion from the Rockman Kortz II down to the Rockman Slate XL? Both are awesome bikes but his Kortz II was so much smarter than the Slate XL he has now . If anyone could enlighten me I would appreciate it greatly. By the way I do not want it to come across like I am hating on Rockman or Lengyel in anyway . Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Gething Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 More modern geometry (aka sky 2 like geometry...)! Hey thanks for the fast reply. I was thinking about the geo aspect but also thought maybe he had damaged the Kortz and decided to go for the Slate. Lengyel is my favourite rider at the moment by far. Anyway thanks for answering my question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Pretty sure the Kortz was snap happy, whereas the Slates have proven to be pretty tough as well as light. Also the Slate XL has an even more UCI orientated geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canardweb Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 He didn't broke the Kortz, his Kortz 2 (and not 2,5!) is still intact! He sold it actually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
