G_! Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 hi, i want to buy a new frame in the next months, i thought to get one of these frames..but i'm really undecided.. i love the maladie's graphics and the geo looks great for me, high bb and long frame, also this is not expensive because it's an old frame..the unique problem is the weight..not heavy but yes a bit in comparation with the frame i'm riding.. the akali look really good too, more expensive though, and i prefer the maladie's geo..but the weight is better.. did you have problems with these frames? which you think is better? really i don't want to pay much so probably i'll buy the maladie..anyway would be nice to read your point cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 You'll properly find most of the 100 odd grams weight difference is due to the extra length in the Maladie. I prefer the Maladie Was/might still be my next frame after my blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I've had the Akali a year now and I did but it second hand. It hasn't showed any signs of snappage, no cracks, no nothing. It has some dents but every trials frame gets them. You know my riding style so I'd say it's done well compared to my old onza master which weighed in at about 1.7kg and snapped in a matter or months. Rides nice if you're used to high bb's which you are, just taps that are quite challenging, but that's normal for a mod anyway. Can't really say much about the maladie, never had one, but i've heard a few to have cracked and snapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieWilliams Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) I would say the Akali out of them 2 as I really like the Geo as it's much like my speed race My speed race is 1010mmWB 350mmCS +80mmBB 72HA and 1450kg Much like My old Onza Limey 320 witch i loved :$ But have you looked at the onza comp or onza blade ? they are both very nice frames, light and amazing for the money Comp is like the Akali and the Blade is like the Maladie in terms of the Geo, If you like the Maladie geo you will most probably like the blade I think is has better geo shorter chainstays and a bit shorter Wheelbase witch would be better on the back wheel and to wheels. I think the blade set up with TrialTech sport stem and some TrialTech high rise bars and you would love it Just found this Link Hope this helps Jamie Edited October 13, 2011 by JamieWilliams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_! Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 thanks, i'll buy the maladie, many people said me that will be broken soon, but i dont care, all frames are broken in a time, so i'll go for it. I'll buy it in about 2 weeks cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
