Nick Garland Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Well this arrived today from Tarty Bikes. I must say I was very impressed when I received the frame. The welds are nice and neat, better than on my Koxx I think (would have to check against another Koxx though). The chainstays are very strong and don't flex and the paint was a nice finish too. Only one complaint is that on one of my Magura mounts there was some paint which made it hard to get the bolt in at first but was fine afterwards. The frame has no flex it in. I've put most parts on it waiting for new bash and the rear brake is solid (Y) Shall post a picture when its all built up. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Looks nice - far better painted than not painted. Apparently if you buy a Toxsin it means you ride for them too. Bonus. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Garland Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Dont comment on the front tyre, I'm aware it needs changing (Y) Also my friend recons the forks should be the same blue, but I am unsure whether it would look good or not.

Matt_Tupman Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 I'd spray the forks black :S you'd have a nice contrast then :D" Also does it have BB rise i can't remember?? doesn't look much bet it could be the angle oh and what are those dust caps ? they look like minature hubs (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Also does it have BB rise i can't remember?? doesn't look much bet it could be the angle ← 20mm. Don't worry Matt, we've got more Blue (Y) Looks sweet Nick - enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 oh and what are those dust caps ? they look like minature hubs (Y) ← Get yo' bad ass to the hope stand at the bike show. B) They are infact minature hubs. :S Bike looks awesome nick, made a good choice. Hope you're liking the hub. B) I reckon matching blue forks would look awesome. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 I think that looks really nice. What cranks are you putting on? And a blue front tyre would look really nice on it, and maybe silver bars to match the forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakley Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 looking very good mate, hope you like it ! (Y) joE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) Cheers for the comments. Im waiting for my lathed 20T bash to arrive to go with my burns. Black forks would go nice actually, that way keep my black bars and as Adam said its +20mm the angle doesnt show it well. Ill take another picture tomorrow (hopefully all parts will arrive) and you can see the BB Rise better. The rear wheel is also going nicely Adam, cheers for that, and the Kings lovely.
