craigjames Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Looks absolutely beaut! Perfect spec and those forks look so so nice. Envious as Hell!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiuSliS Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Top notch! But why only green frame? No other green parts sort of kills it for me. I would've gone for grey frame for this build. Nonetheless, bike looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a mate with the grey frame and virtually the same spec as mine and i think the green looks much better each to their own though! Cheers.

dave33 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Forks look really nice on that frame, better than a sky dare I say it, greens best colour to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Bike weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i like cunning stunts Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Bike weight? Not sure on the weight forgot to ask them to weigh it while i was there! I will get it weighed soon enough though, i had the complete sky 2 next to mine and feeling both together mine felt a little bit lighter but dave i will say the koxx looks better with the karbons because the headtube is the right size for them were the rockmans headtube is quite a bit smaller..

Well the sky has an internal headset so it's going to be longer, with the heatsedt installed it works out about the same height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgresty Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Well the sky has an internal headset so it's going to be longer, with the heatsedt installed it works out about the same height diameter wise he means, the headtube is flush witht he crown of the forks on the sky 2, with this frame, it isnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_ruskin Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 That is the nicest bike i have ever seen, love the forks suit the build really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmks88 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 looks amazing! this is your 2nd bike? how do you compare the XL to ZHI? im thinking about getting the zhi as it is so cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i like cunning stunts Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) No the zhi has been sold on, the rockman feels much better, the zhi is 20mm shorter in the reach plus I had some issues with the crank hitting the frame when putting the power down. The zhi's are nice for what they are cheap frames with good geo and decent build quality, bit hit and miss if you get a good one or not. If your looking for the best feeling frames and the lightest the XL and the sky 2 are the only two you should be looking at imho.
