loffa Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Are you sure that it is Vincent's bike? I remember from other pics that he had silver stickers on his bike, not blue ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totaltrials Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Why has he got a zippa on the rear mech, taking the spring out would be a hell of a lot better, I noticed this with shed loads of frenchies. Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan@Trials-uk Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Noticed they changed this frame?

Bruiser1 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 A bit different geometry on the frame, 40 mm bb rise. How nice are those powdercoated white rims, mmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess companies *could* make shit frames that rode like dogs just because they'd look different, but wait! Long, low and silver seems to do it for a large portion of the trials world! They even do different length bikes for different riders (Y) But wait - they're made in Taiwan, so it must be bad... despite Taiwan having some of the best construction facilities in the world (oh, and children generally can't operate high tech CNC machines, or operate CAD programmes, and so on, so they can't really be used any more. Shit, another stereotypes been arse-raped...). However, incorrect though the company names may have been, it was still funny :) I remembered seeing a video of Vincent on that bike and thinking "G to the A-S-H", but it sorta looks OK in those pics... *Before you say any sentence with "Ghz" in it, that is the one exception, in the same way that aluminium bikes look different. Curtis' and Leeson are almost identical, save for - say - the Leeson 360 dropouts. Same difference in the way the XTP and Hi-Fi headtubes are different? Oh wait, that contradicts your arguement.

chrishayton Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Phil id say the zip tie it there to stop the mech slapping, i've used the same method for ages, i suppose its easier than modifing the mech, but then again i doubt vince would ever do any work on his bike, he probably has a team for that lol. this is the same frame that he was on at the bike show and my mate was after a new bike and the geo looked lovely so we asked fred but he told us its defiantly not coming out and its just a bike made for Vincent. gutted though because it looks amazing and the geo is exactly what i want. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 he needs 6 working gears and removing the spring would f**k it would'nt it? ← nope the spring we normally take out, lets the mech move up and down so triple/double front chainring setups can be used.

Shit my dish, we can't be having that. ← Its all the same stuff with different stickers. My ES3 had the same back end as my mates zebdi, which implied its from the same jig with robots programmed to cut the same patterns, in the same tax free to foreigners warehouse in China/ Indonesia/ Taiwan etc. At the end of the day they are all 9 tubes stuck together. I just think bike companies now are more into making money than decent products. As for the steel bikes all looking alike, the twin triangle design hasnt been improved upon for over a century, also theres alot to be said for riding a bike you know someone has put together with care and skill, because they want you to be on a decent product. Robots dont have emotions yet do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurra Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 I think it's the same frame geo as he had during the koxxdays/week and up to now. i noticed that his framenumber was 002... but still fooking lush. white rims look sexy and a fresh sharp grind.
