TheMunn Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I was looking around and came across this, what you people think of it ? I thought it wasn't going to have as much bb rise but I seem to be wrong, anyone care to shed any light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I cant help you out but i love the detail on the koxx logo under where the seat would be. (Y) Kireon (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyJames Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 If you stripped that frame and presented it to a Inuit, I think he would be hard pressed to tell you what it was. Looks more like a cricket bat that a frame! I do not like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always invisage that frames like these will suddenly make me better than the best. Which is why I wont buy one. I dont want be prooved wrong!

JT! Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Don't like that 'K' and it looks a little bit worse than the old one. Find it funny that you need a mod stem though. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picki Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 im sure i read on otn something about how the frames made...might want to have a peek around there Linky i might be the pic, but does it look a tad shorter than the old one? dont like the 'seat' stays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanRs Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 looks crap and probally costs £700 or somethin stupid. wonder if its still made from cardboard? i think that is now going way too far into the extreames of bike geo fussyness. i bet mr vinco can ride a levelboss to the same standard as that. so whats the need in it?

Luke Drewery Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Erm, this frame isnt new? Anyway im not really a fan because it doesnt seem a very versatile frame, its too specific to UCI stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Y) So what if he can ride as well on both bikes, he needs to enjoy riding too and to do that he has to ride a bike he likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 ^^^ youre right - everyone can say their opinion.. anyway - Im sure there were negative posts and opinions when the first seatless bike came in! What about +50 bb rise when first vinco appeared! Now most new frames have +50bb or more (gu, czar, bt, new xtp...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about +50 bb rise when first vinco appeared! Now most new frames have +50bb or more (gu, czar, bt, new xtp...) ← Natural progression. They've shortened the rear end as much as they can, made the wheelbase as long as possible, made the top tube as lowe as possible, so the bottom bracket would be the next thing to tinker with. I wan't to see it frame only side on, as if you sliced it down the middle, it would look almost the same toptube/downtube slice. :) Meh, loved the way the old vinco rode when i rode it, saying that, it was just a blunt around and a little drop, but meh.

Waynio Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 i like how people thinks it looks crappy as the best technology IMO is in Monocoque tubing!!!! so much stiffer and has the looks of an aston martin Vanquish IMO. the good thing about monocoque tubes is they dont break at welds as easy as they have bigger surface areas. the b/b rise i think dropped down to something like +30/40 as they had been copied by so many other companies what was the point in having the frame the same as everything else out???? i think it does look more normal now with the lower b/b and im sure it will still ride as well as the old one. maybe thomas (TRA) can shed some light on this??? as im sure he has got one of the new ones?unless the shorter one he had still had the large b/b rise i just cant remember.
