stirlingpowers Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) To avoid this, I made this: 72, 1080, +60, 1,5", many ideas of David Hoffmann in this frame, the usual painfully branded comp trials parts Would you consider selling custom frames? For two decades, there was Hoffmannbikes, selling custom Trials frames in Germany. Considering his nephew David Hoffmann, and the still-existing workshop, it could be done. PM me for interest, I'll forward it. Edited May 13, 2017 by stirlingpowers 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Looks fantastic. Any pics of the build process? Would also love to see a side view and a video of you riding it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirlingpowers Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Thanks! Lots of sweat in there. No build pics were taken, sorry. Video will be done soon. Edited May 7, 2017 by stirlingpowers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbertlemon102 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) The way the top tube and forks are at almost a perfect 90 degree angle to eachother looks f**king mint. It feels like I'm looking at an alternative future of trials if the seats stayed. Awesome! Edited May 9, 2017 by Herbertlemon102 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might also be working on some other kinds of alternative futures... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 digging it, however I'm not into that curve in the downtube, I like how it still looks more like a bike now Had a similar idea to do a seated comp style frame myself at some point 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 I did enter a comp on my hex and it coped pretty well but the short wheelbase does have it's limitations on bigger comp moves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the wheelbase and the low BB made it a bit sluggish on the backwheel. That's why this thing in the photos above exists. Also, I wanted to advance on some construction features. The curved Kloud-style down tube is for my individual style preferences only. Edited May 10, 2017 by stirlingpowers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
