gurider2010 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Now then,im thinking of changing frame, i have been looking at the because color on tarty bikes but due to there closure until February. I have decided to look on trialshop.pl and they sell the new 2012 simple : http://trialshop.pl/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=761 But tarty bikes sell the 2012 color but say the name has been changed : http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/20_inch_frames/because_color_20_inch_2012/c36p10883.html Basically the question is are they the same? rather confused Thanks in advance for any help Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Different dropouts, different disc mounts, different disc mount brace, different BB join, different head tube, different frame... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ali, that's what I thought but the photos were a tad misleading, still both good frames though. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) They are very different as Ali pointed out. Apart from that, the Simple has a more oldschool geometry - a lower bb rise for starters. The 2011 and 2012 Colour frames seem to differ only in sticker design, the rest of the frame is identical. edit: Geometry if the Simple appears to be: 995/350/60/600 with the new urban forks Edited January 25, 2012 by Greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a bunch. Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
