Greetings Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 So you may have heard I have bought a Rockman Aurem frame, I have been doing as much research as I can on specifically the Aurem 3 frame, and am constantly hearing mixed opinions about the frame. I know this is a useless post, but why don't you come up with your own opinion about the frame you currently own? After all that's what matters, I can say that I don't like it because I'm a stock rider and generally don't get along with mods (yes, I've ridden that frame) but how will that help you?

If you snapped saints and pikes. Then your rockman must be strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you have enough money to change frame in less than a year.... :wink2: Edited August 7, 2012 by 315r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Or he's a machine at MTB/free ride and not so much at trials? You can't really make a comparison between two different extremes of riding. Sorry, but if you were putting your Rockman through the same high forces it took to snap your Pikes and your Saints axle (which is a lot), your Rockman would be dead by now. As it isn't, I'm inclined to beleive that maybe your not as good on the trials bike as you are on the mtb. Willing to be proved wrong however... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your rockman was my build inspiration, check out my full build in bike pics. And good to hear your frame is still going strong, and riding well thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
