Greetings Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 anyone who has one will probably agree it's a different shaped because simple You can say that about pretty much any frame on the market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'scoolfool Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 You can say that about pretty much any frame on the market yeah i guess but in this case they actually are being the same company and all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatrip Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 yeah i guess but in this case they actually are being the same company and all that Apart from neon are the bigger company as because are there sister company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Apart from neon are the bigger company as because are there sister company. It's not a daughter company. Daughter companies have a separate organizational structure and are required to issue stock which I think makes them JSC (in other words really expensive to run). It's so much easier to just make stickers which say Because rather than Neon. Correct me if I'm wrong but there's probably not a single daughter company in the trials industry.

dezmtber Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 its simple you get what you pay for in the bike industry as competition is so tight between manufactures. i will be getting a neon bow once i crack my onza master. i actualy think imo the bow looks quite similar (not the top tubeits the the drop outs, gussets ect.. that are similar) to the koxx sky and with a £750 price tag on that. its a good comparison for price. i know the koxx uses better metals and proceses.

Mark W Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 it's a different shaped because simple It's different shaped because it's got totally different tubing, different dropouts, a built-in booster, different head tube, different BB yoke - basically, every part of it is different. The only similarity comes from the origin of the two brands. For the sake of argument, if it was an Echo frame there's literally no way you'd ever compare it to a Simple.
