Andeee Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Whats the life span on these then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Glad to hear you're liking it Joe! Sounded like you were a little unsure about it before you got the order in so it's good it's worked out How does it feel with that stem on? Looks pretty nuts, but if it works that's the main thing I guess! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Papasnap Maher Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Whats the life span on these then? Unfortunatly i cant see into the future ( maybe you can ), so i dont know. SorryMark, big stem defo makes it feel like a big mod which is good for me!! Done bigger upto fronts already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Unfortunatly i cant see into the future ( maybe you can ), so i dont know. Sorry Was just wondering that is all. Seen a fair few rockmans crack like so i wasn't sure if they had been improved in strengthening. How long is the warranty on the frame. Does look sick in orange. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I don't even know what the f**k "doggerz" is supposed to mean, but it being given equal treatment to almost every other single frame out there is considered a bad thing by you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Manning Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Looked damn fine up close. I wanted a go on it but Joe was being protective of it. But it looked like it rode really well as Joe was on fire riding it. (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Looks really odd. But I'd love to ride it, could be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pengsmelly Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Oh my, I think it has to be the nicest 24 I have seen. I originally thought the graphics ruined it... but i really think it's growing on me ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Prattley Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 that bike would be the nicest ive seen in a long time if the frame was black or silver (rockman orange is a pile of tommy tank) .. but other than that joe its perfect ... whats it like going form dual disc to hs33 ?

STEVE-0 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I hate you! But well done for moving to a bigger bike again. I can see you progressing well on it, Rankin will be pleased too lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 For a moment, i thought the geometry graphics on the tubing was photo-shopped . Is this frame a replacement of the Rockman 'Tractor' or, just another an addition to the 24in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalRobbo341 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Probably being fussy here but, that front cable needs re-routing.. Around the left of the frame into the right mount looks like it will flow more.. Then again I am picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you lose some weight , you can have a go that bike would be the nicest ive seen in a long time if the frame was black or silver (rockman orange is a pile of tommy tank) .. but other than that joe its perfect ... whats it like going form dual disc to hs33 ? Silver and black are boring Maguras are epic..no doubt..but the silence of dual disc is heavenly I hate you! But well done for moving to a bigger bike again. I can see you progressing well on it, Rankin will be pleased too lol. Yer!! Looking forward to this summer even more now Probably being fussy here but, that front cable needs re-routing..
