Crossbow - (Curved cranks added)

Recommended Posts

Until someone pointed it out on OTN I hadn't spotted the serrated type bit nearer the pedal area for improved crank grip. The bit where there's a serration that's almost right at the bend and at the bottom of that triangle-shaped machined out area seems like a potentially bad idea (on what is already a bad idea).

here 's some info in french.

the guy sounds very ambitious. he wants to have (and properly pay) crossbow-pro riders in the top10. wants to found trial-schools for kids to breed new crossbow-pros. ...

the frame is supposed to be available in june, only as a kit of frame + carbon forks. by the end of the year he wants to present a full bike comprised of all crossbow parts (including brakes and tires). supposed to be all high quality parts too.

It sounds like the riders have to go through their academy/school to get paid for being in the top 10 though? Not that it's not a good thing to be doing, but just that it's a goal that's a little way off just yet - plenty of trials companies 'talk the talk', but not all of them end up walking the walk. Hopefully they'll live up to it though.

thanks for posting the english link. i didn't look for an english one, i assumed someone would have already posted it, if there were one.

mark,

he definitely does mention that. not sure.

but he does put a lot of emphasis on properly paying the company's athletes, so they don't have to do shows and other side jobs. and further down it does sound a little bit he wants to get a new 20"-rider on board.

love the look of those frames! but that disc only mod doesn't have much "reinforcement" at all on the frame, does it? (around the calliper, cant think of the proper namer)

found this on Joan Figueras' facebook, looks neat! but i reckon a different frame colour would look nicer, imo
