-G- Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 New pic. He said in facebook that the bike weight is about 7.6 Kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) I think it could be quite strong. Edited September 21, 2013 by dngr2self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm all for fresh ideas and designs. And I think he's done a great job on the looks of this. But how it still manages to weigh more than my 26" I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I think the fibre glass would need to be quite thick to give it the strength needed so it won't be especially light. It was probably built more for looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 What forks is he using? They look rather cheap and heavy, and spoil the look of the entire bike for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 what forks are those? Looks like Neon of V!Z or something like that, nothing special anyway. For info, fiber vidrium is Spanish for fibreglass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 those rims are scary kinda like it, although is there any info about price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-G- Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) is there any info about price? I don't know but it seems more a personal project that a company project, the time will say Edited September 22, 2013 by -G- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'd imagine that it's more the fact that Jack's stock is ridiculously light. Just because someone is 1kg heavier than a chick with anorexia doesn't mean they're obese... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilf Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Not really, since if you can't use Monty cranks, that's a good thing Whats wrong with Monty cranks? Epic length and only a few grams heavier than the Echo SL's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I guess I just have a personal beef with them - only cranks I've ever broken (one of the only parts I've ever broken, actually!) and I find the fact they haven't updated the design for over 10 years kinda lazy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-G- Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) here you have 2 prototypes he made in the years 1999 and 2000. Edited October 4, 2013 by -G- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work perfectly with their flagship bike though so why would you? Oh wait... here you have 2 prototypes he made in the years 1999 and 2000. They're... 'interesting'.

AdamR28 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 To be fair, they look awesome for 1999-2000. They'd have been pretty advanced in comparison to the shit we were riding at the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
