swill Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Got this in the last few days and set about building it up. Need to shim the front brake and fit the bars and stem when I pick them up from my parents house as well as get a new Isis bottom bracket. Anyone got any idea which koxx level boss frame this is? Looking quickly with my Mrs sewing box tape the wheelbase looks to be 1060 with fatty forks on, and BB rise approximately +5mm. The rear tyre is a squeeze but the 2.4 Ardent seems to fit ok so far Will add more pics as it becomes more built up/finished...

swill Posted June 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Well I've now got hold of my bars and stem and had a few hops in the garden on it. Feels quite surprisingly ok with the bars at the same angle they were on my previous frame which I expected to need to move. However after a few hops in the garden riding it feels much better than I expected given that I've gone backwards in terms of geo progression. Anyway here is how it looks untill I get a new Isis BB and my other cranks on it so these can go back on the mod. The cranks on it ATM are square taper 165mms (from my mod) and have stood the test of time and though I don't ride much any more have had years of abuse and still stiff and awesome.

swill Posted June 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Must admit I have now swapped the Ardent for a Holly roller. Though there's not much between the two the ardent is a huge 2.4 whereas the roller is 2.3 but much much smaller. Thinking I may have to take some tread off of it but seems a shame to waste it...

AaronMac Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 That is a very nice example mate. It looks like one of the early designs. The first one perhaps. 2003? Here's a shot of my one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronMac Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 This one is version 2. Stiff as hell, it's the dream. It needs to go on a diet though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
