Tomm Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 The only different thing that Pulo offered was the Pitbull 05 :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Wonder how much thicker the downtube is? They've also lowered the price to, by about £50. Stan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 In their opinion they've fixed the only thing that was wrong, the down tube. They've lowered the price by £50. I think they've done well. If they think a designs working well then why change it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Punk Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Well if theres a few left, in shops, or if they have any I'm sure they would sell them for cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me ages to work that out :"> I assume Coustellier frames are still made by Coustellier. This new one seems good to me, they know the geometry is good so they've just improved one of the frames weak points (the waffer thin downtube) and dropped the price :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishwog Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 OK, a BIT of topic, but I've been wondering.... IF someone needs a shit hot brake, its the cousteliers. But they run braided hosing, which makes the brake feel SHIT, and they have no booster....Is the coustellier frame like very un-flexy or something?

Stan Shaw Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 No, they use Coust brake pads - which make the brake shit hot. Stan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Clark Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Matter of opinion, I'm sure if they prefered a booster and plastic hosing they would use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaroncosbey Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 You'd have to be a bit thick to go and buy one of those when you can still get these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...bayphotohosting (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
