Shub_Step Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) What do you guys think about this frame? (Here Clement Moreno's build) Also Tms now have a really BIG team! Plenty of good riders from everywhere. It's great! but I don't know what to think about this new TMS sponsoring "domination".

LEON Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I wasn't sure about the colours on paper, but now a couple are built up I like it. New bb yoke looks great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifes-a-trial Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Not too keen at first look. Maybe it will grow on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclip Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Looking forward to mine arriving. Right up my street, I'll post up some photos when I can. Can't wait to see if it rides as good as the combo v3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New bb yoke looks great too. Have you even ridden your black one? Bike looks cool. I was wondering how long it would take for "street" bikes to come full circle and start to look like pure trials bikes again. It has begun.

LEON Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yeah but only in shitty conditions, Luke was there a couple of months before me. And I don't do winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shub_Step Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 It's strange how it looks more trial oriented in the eye of people with this downtube. But TMS says it's all about footjam whip clearance... Lightweight make me want to give it a try as I get old . Color and design is not my cup of tea. Anyway I can't wait to see guys on it at TMS camp. But I hope I will never see the Master of smooth Cocky make a front brakeless footjam whip on this bike due to this downtube ! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Your safe cockys not into footjams. Be cool to meet up, Me, Cocky and Pogo are coming to Tms Camp, we're over for a week, Saturday to Saturday. @Shub_Step 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shub_Step Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) ^^That's what I thought! Oh great! I will be there too. Glad to not being the only "No-tms bike guy" at this meeting ! There is plenty of good spots at Grenoble near the camp . Le prisme is awesome to ride.

Dman Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 @Shub_Step I already marked le prisme on my map, definitely going there. Where's the spot in yohan triboulats last vid in Grenoble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't make much sense to me - your foot's right up against the fork leg on your tyre so I don't get why you'd need a curved downtube for them? BMXers have been doing them for years without having to go banana-y on their downtubes and they've got very minimal clearance, even compared to normal street trials frames with straight down tubes (plus trials forks are longer axle-to-crown so you gain more clearance there anyway). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 And there was everyone thinking that's why the Skye had gone down that route... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I think but couldn't say that due to my lack of vocabulary...thanks. @Dman Red marker is the Tms shop and prism on the other side. I asked for the spot where Yohan made his last video . "Square Henry Huchon" But Google map can't find it. I let you aware when I'll know where it is. Found it now! It is near the shop (Square Henry Huchon. You can see it in google street view : Chemin de halage / Rue Mortillet) Edited February 24, 2016 by Shub_Step 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
