Endohopper Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 (edited) Whilst browsing O.T.N , I came across this , and thought it post - worthy . Not seen it before , looks terribly low and long . Original post : http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/showthread.php?t=13450 The other is a Starck , Russian I believe , one of Holland's few trials riders uses one of these . At first , I suspected it to be a resprayed Yaabaa or similar , I'm sure one of you guys / girls might be able to identify if it is an existing frame that's simply been resprayed .

Tomm Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Those JB Zark frames have been around a while. Well, they were introduced maybe a year ago, but I don't think they were too popular. You can get them HERE if anyone's really interested. As far as I can remember, they weren't anything special - just a long-ish, natural-orientated frame with a fairly low bb. That one looks a bit different though (EDIT: OK I just looked it up - it's the "new" JB Zark - Reminds me of an Echo Control). As for the other one, can't help you. Zebdi dropouts, Levelboss top tube, Echo-ish chainstay yoke. Another random far-east frame, at a guess :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aust Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 rob poyser is the first one to have one of those jb's much nicer than the old ones.. better geo etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 I first saw the JB zark frame in the biketrial magazine, and it looked sweet, but the new one looks even better i think. Similar to a woodman, but much better looking at it which is good because woodmans arent very good frames. However, the 'stark' frame looks sick :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 yeh i saw that some time ago on the coust site but the old jb was actually real nice when aust had his i realy liked it and i think there cheap at summit like the £260 mark and as far as im aware aust didnt crack his :- Pauly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVE-0 Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Whatever (N) The new JB is still as lush as the other one i see, still very simple, a little boring but hey, it looks good. As for the 'STARK', :P it looks like a mod frame constantly until you look at the drop outs. BB rise maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
