Jimmy_E Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Seen it on Tribalzine and Bruno's facebook page. No info about geo and weight but it look great ! EDIT : The stock are available on Tartybike . - Weight: 1.615kg/3.560lbs Geometry (When measured with Echo Urban 402mm/45mm fork) Wheelbase: 1090mm Chainstay length: 380mm BB Rise: +55mm Head Angle: 71 Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 650mm (25.6") Edited November 12, 2011 by Jimmy_E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Cant see much difference with that one on the V2 to be fair, the blue looks slightly darker and the frame is heavyer.. did they have problems with the old one snapping or cracking? Geo seems alright though, nothing bad about it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Geo seems alright though, nothing bad about it really. Except for super short reach... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Exactly. Short reach is good when the wheelbase is short, long wheelbase + short reach = not too nice IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) did they have problems with the old one snapping or cracking? They are made from very thin tubes so whenever you hit the downtube, they dent and snap fast after.

AndrewG Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 it looks like as mix of 1st and 2nd model. I think bruno combined great things from both and it should be one nice frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I really like the look of it and no wonder it will be a super frame as Bruno has always produced great products! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 The rider damaging a frame to the point it breaks doesn't really mean anything about the quality of a product. Trials frames aren't made to be landed on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewG Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 BTW is there any V2 26" snapped which weren´t damaged in snap area before ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 so it's just a beefed V2, with a short reach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Looks pretty much the same as my v2 which i got off Damon ( One of a few beefed up versions) Only difference this one has a internal headtube where as mine has a standard external plus the decals look asif they are sat higher on the downtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 so not so great then? You're not supposed to dent a frame dude... The V2 was probably designed a bit too light, but it's a competition oriented frame so it's not made to pardon the mistakes if you see what I mean... The rider damaging a frame to the point it breaks doesn't really mean anything about the quality of a product. Trials frames aren't made to be landed on. Exactly!

There are now two separate models (we found out today) - the standard headtube model is 1.615kg, so is slightly beefed up. The internal headtube model is 1.528kg (so still weighs more than the previous version, but not as much as the standard model). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hate to tell you this but your wrong... Will upload a pic to show you. the headtube on mine is still a stanard shape where as yours has the look to make it look internal when it isnt. Plus the graphics on mine are slightly different for finish and position. Like this?

AdamR28 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hate to tell you this but your wrong... Mark isn't 'wrong' - I am looking at the two frames he is speaking about right now. There genuinely are 2 slightly different models being produced now, as said above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There genuinely are 2 slightly different models being produced now, as said above. Mine is one of the fair few designed by damon. EDIT: Just looked and realised the headtube is the same (internal shape) which takes standard external headsets. appologies to mark n adam! Mine doesnt have ozonys wrote on the headtube plus the graphics and finish are completely different to mine.. Mine is one of a fair few made which was designed by Damon himself. BUT: It has got " Damon W" wrote in tippex on the bottom bracket.. so therefore its a signature model Edited November 14, 2011 by Andeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Leech Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Frame looks bootiful, hopefully that extra weight is an increase in wall thickness on the downtube. Sorry if this has been said already further up, couldnt see it, but has anyone got a closer release date than just next year? Mine is one of a fair few made and designed by Damon himself. No. Josh.

Andeee Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) No. Josh. Really? To say me and a few others were the first to have this beefed up version frame before it was even released to retailers. EDIT: Just realised i worded it wrong sorry!

Luke Rainbird Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Design input, yes. Made by, no. Still not sold on this design, but hopefully being a bit heftier should help to eliminate the weak spot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't commenting on the fact that you had one, we know you've got one, which is quite tasty btw, just that you said damon made and designed it, he may of had some input, like it needs a thicker downtube and maybe a bb gusset, but thats about it .

I didnt mean to say it was made by his own two hands haha Lol, fair do's. EDIT- Luke, gota agree on the design issue, looks very nice, but there is an obvious flaw with it, hopefully they have thought about it properly because there is a way of getting around it I personally think they should of hydroformed the downtube in one section, rather than rolling a tube, cutting it in half and welding it to what is essentially (still cant spell ) a backbone. This way, they could decrase the wall thicknes of the top tube, keeping it at the weight it is atm, and increase the overall stiffness of the frame, but meh', thats just me . Dont think the cost would be too much more done like this either, initial costs of a form would be high, but the decrease in labour time would see that through, i'd of thought anyway.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Still not sold on this design Same... it reminds me of the old Onza T-Mag's which I think it's safe to say is not a good thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
