Long bikes with high BBs and rolled forward bars - only good for up to fronts, side hops and hooks? Short street bikes, bunny hops to back are easier? Mod bikes, no one ever taps those. Long live the tap!! I just said that because as you say, who goes for taps these days? that's why I m a huuuge fan of Fontenoy's riding style which still reminds me of the old coust style's You know those enormous yet totally effortless rolling taps :$ but I want an answer about the head angle/tap easyness combo please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_ruskin Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Not happy that they have raised the bb heights, inpulse were the only company that were still making stock frames with decent bb heights (koxx kloud being the only exception i can think of) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky for me I found a brand new 09 echo pure frame that will become my comp bike. Can't wait for the +20bb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a k-sas in 2007, that was +40 which I thought was a really extreme bb hight ( I then went to +10 then +30 - which i think was fairly 'neutral') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I hated the way the Limey 3 bikes rode - too heavy and didn't like the low BB. My Speedrace Fans frame rode pretty nicely with Trialtech forks on with around a +48 BB +70 feels too much to me, but I loved the Proto Limey 4 I had for a short while after Seddon which was about +60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it. I like a high front end, I've got a 150x30 rockman stem on mine. Sits so nice on the back wheel. And if anyone thinks it's too long, it's how I like it.

The first full production batch will arrive in France mid-late September. They have not announced a price for the complete bikes yet as they are deciding what parts package to put on the full production version. Blast 20 & 26 frame - £599 ( including tensioners and built in bash) Blast 20 & 26 frame kit - £815 ( frame, fork,headset & bb) Blast 24 frame - £495 (including tensioners) Blast 24 frame kit - £665 ( frame, fork, headset & stem) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Fuuu... £599, thats quite expensive! Why should I buy one of these over a Koxx Kloud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
