Renthal211 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Seen this on Fabio Wibmers facebook, New Fourplay frame im assuming.

Ross McArthur Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Yea seen something similar on Duncan Shaw' Insta. Its got skye style through dropouts on the forks. Dont all go rushing off to Duncans Insta now. I just remembered it wasnt his page. Cant think who's it was now but it was Duncans bike.

JJ Leigh Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Do NOT like the look of that downtube/headtube/toptube gap, looks grim and weak! :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 ...despite a lot of frames having a gap there? For example, the Console, Arcade, etc. I think it's just a product of moving to slightly longer head tubes so people don't have to run a load of stackers to get their bars at the right height for them. You can't really do much about it. Fabio hasn't been on a standard Fourplay frame for a pretty long time. Even back when we were filming at Dressler Camp back in 2013 he had one that had some features from the Skye. I think they're gradually introducing more of them to the Fourplay as time goes by so it's probably just a refinement of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 It appears to have a tapered headtube too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Seat stays look different and no brace on brake mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Yea, apparently the new one piece dropouts which start up past the brake mount are able to take the forces now, so the brace isn't required. Pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
