trials hoe Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 measured the wb? Knowing the Geo of frame and forks should give a measurement of what it should be. Could be a slack h/a and the slight angle of the pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum219 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah Check wheelbase..they do look slightly bent but i could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
err Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Measure the wheelbase with the forks facing forwards, then facing backwards. If the difference is more than double the axle offset then they're probably bent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Forks themselves don't look massively bent but the head angle looks super slack. Bent downtube/monocoque? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Bent downtube eh? Hadn't considered that... Will measure forks when I get myself round Jacks house with some tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Unlikely but a vague possibility considering the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Think everything'd look fine if the photo was levelled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Think everything'd look fine if the photo was levelled out. Will take another, proper picture when the bikes all sorted. Cheers ads. If not I may be making a purchase from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsiain Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I always think urbans look bent. THESE are bent https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/q85/s720x720/1422361_621831757863514_658015651_n.jpg boy uses his bike like that in my village :') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Is that Damons old ozonys? Think it had a slacker head angle than standard but do t hold me to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Is that Damons old ozonys? Think it had a slacker head angle than standard but do t hold me to it Heard a lot of rumours. The one I believe most is that he was given 3 custom ones, got rid of 2 and rode one. Dunno though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yes it is the actual frame he rode in angels or hashtag 1. It does have a slacker head angle than normal ozonys, wb should come out at 1100 ish with 35-40mm offset forks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Dunno if that makes me feel better or worse haha. Looking forward to ride it, should be pretty unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris H Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 That's the other frame that was his. With inspired forks it gives the same impression of bent forks, it is the slack head angle and the none curve fork that creat the illusion of them being bent, with carbons and no wheels you can still see its slack. There were two made not three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Something like 70.5/71° isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Keep thinking my forks in my GU are bent, but I dont know if its just the slacker head angle compared to what I've ridden in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
