New Vinco, What You Think?

[Dan@Trials-uk]

Here's a few pics of the new vinco, what do you think?

Ive noticed the extra gussets on on the bottom of the downtube, next to BB, and also the curve on the downtube, like the monty idea ( shock absorbing downtube). Also the mini koxx sign inbetween the top and downtube, looks very swish :) (Y)

Regards Dan B)

Edit, Just noticed there isnt a seatube, but I think they are using that koxx logo to act like a seat tube sort of thing.

Very nice. i wish i had enough money for a vinco (Y) :) B) :P

[totaltrials]

They shouldn't have had to bring otu a new un, It's what it should have been like in the first place, because the originals where pants.

Looks sweet! It's just so sexy :)

Like the koxx sign in middle of the downtube and toptube (Y)

[gazmaz03]

Yeah that is very different they are always using different ideas for frames now getting wierd all the time. Nice though :) . I do like how they have got the grip shift out of the way good place to have it I think.

the bottom bracket isn't as high no more.. i think its only plus 30 or somewhere around that mark

[Waynio]

cos it got copied that many times.hahaha.

its still one of the nicest looking from my point of view (monocoque tubing :) (Y) )

i think they have just made it better phil,seen weaknesses and made it better.

We could all say the same about Echo like 2-3years ago when they did the ES range, i think everyone broke, so they made them better.

if you look through the koxx range i think only the Caisso hasnt been attempted copied, the XTP has been literally copied by the new HI-FI from the headtube point of view (obviosly geo changes) the levelboss has been copied a million n one times over (so that gets a new look too and i have to say most people may not like the new one but i think its awesum its a change!) vinco has been copied geo wise by too many people (companies by that i mean)

Waynio..................................

EDIT: Am biased towards the monocoque tubing as our best selling brand @ work is the Marin Full sus bikes and there so nice. purely because there monocoque and anodised frames.

I believe its actually two square tubes with a plate welded over them, and then the welds ground off. You can see the weld if you look between the tubes :)

Well, thats how the old version is anyway :P

[Smo™]

Loving it (Y)

[Mark W]

So the hose goes through that gap between the two square tubes then?

[Waynio]

am waiting for a trials frame to be SEAM welded like the marin full sus frames probably not too strong on the down tube unless they made the tubing thicker but sure would have the nicest looking about it.

Waynio.........................

wish i could weld and id have hours of fun messing around with making bike frames. cutting and shutting.

Yeah.

I agree, the Marin frames are sweet Mr Wayne... just like a Zero... now THAT was a downtube!

[Waynio]

yes it was!!!!!!!!!!!lmao

but look so sweet and sexy.

Is that sorta thing similar to the Planet-X Armourdillo style welding? Like on the downtube, they've got those chuffing great welds that seem to go to nowhere... or is that that weird "hydroforming" (if that's what it is?) biz?

Is this right?? My mate has ordered a vinco and it should arrive this week and its suposed to be a new shape( so guessing its this) he bought it because of the high bb rise, he ll be gutted if its not as high due to it not being that disimilar to his xtp. Has anyone got a full size picture of this bike??

[Waynio]

that was a hydro form tube that they thort lets run a weld down it kinda thing. lol.

Seam welded stuff mark is really swoosh!!!! its like 2 supa dupa lite tubes (on the marin full sus anyway) welded together. so both pieces are more or less identical.

Waynio..........................

[Wayne-king]

looks good. anyone know the price of the new ones?

[Mark W]

Price > What they're worth.

£595.

EDIT: Shit yeah, the new ones - sorry. I'd guess they'd be around that though; the changes aren't going to make it any cheaper I'd have thought, but they'd probably not want to raise it too much...

[spunkey_monkey_boy]

but the hose still goes internally, wasn't that the main problem with the first one?

can you get a pic of it from a bit further back therefor getting the whole bike in one shot?

[Mark W]

The hose doesn't go *really* internally though. There's a gap there between the pair of tubes, and it goes through a small hole in the gusset into that gap, so there's no hole in the frame itself for it to come out of, hence no stress riser, hence no cracking (theoretically).

[Dr. Nick Riviera]

£595 and a 3 month warranty , i think not sir!

they feel nice but i couldnt justify spending that money for a frame

Looks good, but is there a full pic of it, those 3 are a bit close up. :lol:

Nope, well, not on OTN where the pics have been taken from.

[zoojames]

From the looks of it does the brake have to be bled into this hosing channel thing on/in the frame? Its a confusing yet original design B) Well done Koxx I say, apart from the fact that they didnt get it right first time :P

James :lol:

[The Foamoi Refresher]

hate it man, looks soo horrible,

but what i do like are the logo's on the frame, are they etched in?

they look cool, but i personally dont like the way that trials is going,

with all of thes weird looking bikes and guys in lyrca?

not my ideal of trials :lol:
