chris222pher Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 hi people i am new to this forum but have ridden trials on and off along with downhill. i have seen woodman bikes for the first time recently and wondered how good they were for begginers. i ride mods (20") and was wonderin how strong there frames were. cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) My mate had one a while back, they look, and ride really nice, but after 1-2 months he snapped his :( although i think it was because there was a welding defect, im not to sure. I would of thought there fine for begginers. Overall there nice bikes, not that expensive and i would recommend one.

Ash-Kennard Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 hello dude my experience with woodmans there headset r amazing but my mates got a 26 woodman frame which is flexy but rides a treat.

zoo p Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 very snap happy, my mate rode one for 2 months max and it snapped in 3 places and was cracked in one place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris222pher Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 ok cool thanks for that. would an echo team be a good first bike or are the frames too soft (i heard they were soft and dent easily). cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 It would seem that Woodman ' s frames are not suited to daily street riding , but are more competition frames , hence light weight , but poor life expectancy . As far as I'm concerned , their componentry is outstanding especially handlebars , but frames I'm uncertain about . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgyisgay Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 worryingly flexible..... :) my mate had one and snapped it in 3 places after just under 2 months, he wasnt even doing extreme stuff either, i say avoid!! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom tom Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 there is nothing wrong with them, might snap quick but then again they weigh f**k all because there is not much there, not too expensive either and plus not many people have them so you can be different. heres mine plus a couple scratches which add character :P tom tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
