Tomm Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 No idea what that is but it isnt a shifter. Count the 3 cables coming from the bars and the sram twist shift listed in the spec. :blink: ← Yeah, plus the gear cables run along the seat stays, it would make no sense for the mount to be there. Looks like a bottle holder >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 the seat stays look sooo snappy happy I'd have given them more credit if they had copied someone else to be honest. Atleast then they would have a bike which has already been tested We maybe wrong though. It could possibly perform so well it p*sses over most modern, common bikes Aesthetically......I think not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Again, i don't know why they had to make the stays a mile long - would sell better and probably be cheaper for them to manufacture. Other than that, looks Ok-ish, but as has been said, it woulda been better to copy a well-known frame's geometry, sold it for peanuts and made a fortune.

mad_gavo Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 It would be a good beginers bike as i dosent limit them to just using it for trials becasuse if you look at the bikes linked on the page in the top right hand corner it is the same frame as all of the their other dirt jump bikes. Hence the non trials specific geo. But i started out on a 14" XC frame which lasted a year so anything is possible :S BTW WTF is that on the down tube it aint a shifter because the cable routing doesnt match to it :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flower Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 well dangerous and diabolical doesn't describe it properly. Its just .... bad. For a beginners bike :- after that its just a heavy weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 whats SO bad about it for a begginer though, id ride it. ← Not very good geometry? MAkes it a lot harder to ride? It'd be way better to have a good, well designed frame with cheaper parts than having to upgrade the frame :P\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 YE man! he is riding a blakc version of that bike.............. whast the prob with it???look in mbuk 3issues back, hes riding it their???? he has been in development with a new frame time will tell............... at the competition side of it hes been on my 1060 zoo pitbull to clear up any problems on akriggs bike front. just wait and see what happens, you never know someone may upset the odds :D" Waynio......................... his jump bike is nuts he just rides trials and street on a bike thats designed for dirt jumping, i suppose thats what you get when you have all that talent!!!! :( :( i think he should share some with me :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the pics from that MBUK shoot in Marseille he can go ridiculously big, so if he was on a more "trialsy" frame as opposed to a dirt/street compromise like that, maybe he'd go ridiculously big^2? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Back in the day i started doing trials on an XC bike too..... but now the choices are alot better - if you are a begginer, get an onza . . . or something else i would reckon.. in fact buy ashtons new frame - if you are smart you can finish that baby off for 500 with pretty grand stuff - it doesnt make sense to buy it Im sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Cook Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Could be a good starter bike but thats all.... hummm ... <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Back in the day i started doing trials on an XC bike too..... i remember that too!!!!people are spoilt for choice nower days and given that choice they are still winging at most things and winging at old things its like a no win situation. Waynio........................ i cant be arsed il just go out and ride my bike. never mind winging about someones frame just go out and ride its simple, you dont have or own one so dont worry about it..............ta ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
