Breath 26" Bike

I dont see the point in copying koxx, for that reason i dont like it.

Seriously? It's probably got something to do with them looking absolutely divine, being hugely popular, and considered about the most upmarket frame currently on the trials market.

If they can make an almost exact replica and sell it on cheaper than the Koxx, they're bound to make a metric f**kton of money.

Sure it's unoriginal, but since when is profit about originality?

Have you not wondered how, since Koxx went super high BB, almost every other company has done the same? Koxx are like a hyper-brand in a clothing company. They dictate the fashions/trends of the time because they're the most sought after frames.

Yes i do understand that but i would prefer to see a different styled frame as appose to a mirror image one. I hate how other company's copy koxx, if everyone copys then frames will all ride the same because they have a similar geo' I do understand your point about the clothing example and profits etc, but i just dont like the fact that everyone copys, every frame should be different, unlike this one.

Looks lush, and undeniably the weight is amazing.

But the quality of the frames just look shocking, seen so many of these frames with that very finish and they just crack or snap, or bend (cough liam N cough). But I suppose that's what you sacrifice when you get a cheap/light frame.

Breath and Bionic/zhi are completely different companies for one...secondly when you build a frame to such a low price point then try and compete with Koxx's weight im afraid somethings got to give, the slightly earlier zhi's that were around 1.6-1.8kgs were a lot stronger.
