Heatsink Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Hi,Some extra info: Mike runs a bike frame manufacturing place in Poland, and they have some excellent quality trials frames with upto the minute geometry available at a fraction of the price of many of the frames on sale in the UK. There have been a few threads on this already with more information if you have a search in New Member Chat English isn't his first language, but remember that he speaks better English than we all speak Polish! "Sidehop"The good news is that I'm shipping these frames over to the UK to make it easier for UK riders to get their hands on a bargain. Some first details are on my website....which you should be able to work out if you look at my profile!Steve thats funny just tells the guy straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai the Socket Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I'm impressed Steve. Well done on getting hold of them to see what they're like, and providing the availability of them in the UK without ordering cross nationally. It's really good The bike looks really nice. How come there's a Vizbikes sticker on? Just wondered!Anyway. They look decent. Pending testing I might buy a 26" to build up with one of those frames Cheers, Nick Carter.

Heatsink Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hi,The Vizbikes sticker is on the frame because it belongs to a chap in Poland who was importing Viz parts. The eagle eyed amoungst you will spot the Heatsink booster on the back, and he's also running my magura pads I'm looking forward to gathering together a thorough amount of information and my own photos of all the frame details and getting this up on my site during the next week I'm sure that once I've got all the info nice and clearly presented in English, then they'll attract alot more attention. I believe that the stickers can be easily peeled off if they're not your thing too.SteveI'm impressed Steve.

Heatsink Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hi Alex!Mike and I have been emailing back and forth like crazy these last few days working out the best prices and discussing how to organise custom geometry frame orders.At the moment I believe that Mike is very able to produce custom 26" frames in the same vein as the Sidehop/D-day designs with variations to the geometry. Bikes aroung 24" and 20" geometry would involve some time upfront to develop a starting point for the frame, and I think now is the time that we start to gauge the interest in custom non 26" frames. I'm sure I'll get a few email enquiries about a variety of things and I'll gather this all together to pass onto Mike so he can see where it would be best to invest some time and money.I'm making no secret of the fact that I've already suggested that a 24" bike would be perfect for the UK market. We're talking about a bike to plug the gap left by the demise of the ET replica. A proper street based design designed to take a seat! I popped Mike some typical geometry and once word spreads that it's being considered, I'm sure we'll be able to measure how strong demand would be for that.If any more people are interested in custom mod geometry then get in touch and I will keep a tab on suggestions and numbers for Mike.All being well once these first 26" frames are introduced into the UK then a sound reputation will start to be established for MikeBike frames, more people will be aware and get excited of the possibilities for future frame developments, and things will start to gather steam.Stevehow much would it be for a custom mod frame ?

Ali C Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I could well be interested in a 24" frame, but I would MUCH prefer it to be steel......is it possible to have a steel one?This is only an idea though, as things are now I wont be able to afford one even at his sort of prices!
