Mark W Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I once swapped my T-Lite Long frame for Will Arnold's T-Pro frame. Around 1-2 weeks later we both cracked our respective frames, on exactly the same day as each other. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Man, I don't miss the days of front freewheel at all. The only good thing about it was I learnt to sew. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 It really felt like a do it all bike. Is there another recent mod out there with the exact geometry but with a nice tensioning system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I had 3 t-pros, 2 of which snapped. Loved them, still like the look of them but I think it's more of a nostalgia thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 If anyone wants one there is a frame hung up at this shop http://goo.gl/maps/dLsZy Ben Slinger bossing the T-pro! http://www.eengoedidee.nl/videoz/download.cgi?mem_id=13797&fil_unique=Qh43vtTM228AABMBFJQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Closest was/is the Zoo Lynx Long frame. That's why I ended up going for one when I went back to mod in 2009-ish. Same BB height and CS length, and ended up being the same WB with the forks I used. Because of the T-Lite/T-Pro, I can't ride modern mod frames at all 'cos the super high BB and super short rear end just makes it feel way too loopy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMatt Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 BUT THEY WERE MADE IN 2007 THE YEAR OF THE CLEEF we should build this thing up not many parts missing either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hopefully I made up for it with my next bike...I'd love to have this bike back, same spec. If pay a lot of money for it.... that is one nice looking bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 The 2005-06 ones I had were definitely higher than +30, pretty sure they were either 50 or 55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 that is one nice looking bike! Yeah I loved it - seriously regret selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 T-pro is +55 Same geo as the Onza Limey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 The older ones had a 362mm back end on them. I remember that much 'cos I switched from the T-Pro to that T-Lite frame and didn't really like it 'cos it had a 350mm back end, which was why I ended up swapping it with Will Arnold.

Ahh my apologies! Thought it was the same, what geo did the old oldddddd T-mag/comp have?

ManxTrialSpaz Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 All of this chat is making me excited to get the bike out of the garage when I get home. It's a bit sad that it's getting old school now, complete with the coveted Zoo Riser bars and objectively the best pads ever on the back - Plazmatic CRMs. And the original chain from 2005...

Muel Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hopefully I made up for it with my next bike...I'd love to have this bike back, same spec. If pay a lot of money for it....I rode that bike many times, first when Josh bought it from you, then when he sold the frame to a local mate of mine who put a maggy on it.Is it T-Pro picture time? Oh OK then...Here's is my first T-Pro, which I cracked 4 times and had welded 3 times. I then replaced it with a Zona Zip frame which was simply superb.A few years later I bought a job lot of stuff from Boumsong which included most of another T-Pro, so I built another one which I sold as quickly as I could in case I cracked it. (I actually was keen to try a mod again but it was horrible so I decided to stick to stocks). Highlights included a front V brake that didn't work mounted on V adapters I made myself, a totally shagged Tensile FFW and Muscleman cranks with ruined tapers.While we're talking bikes though, easily the best mod in the world:Ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 While we're talking bikes though, easily the best mod in the world: Ever. Glad we agree. i am jelous of those forks, weren't they cut down and re-bonded XC ones? could you make me some? xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yes they were, Pace XC ones. Everyone who rode my bike hated them but I loved them. The flexed a fair bit but they were super springy. They weighed 677g, the lightest forks at the time were Echo Lites which were over 750g I think.Really should have held on to them and sold the bike with some other forks. I'd love to have just hung them on the wall to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilf Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Your bike was being sold on here not long ago, fair few different bits but the same frame, forks etc. He wanted £300 for it I think haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
