SQuiT-man Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Frame looks pretty sweet, and ultra-sleek. I was trying to work out what makes it look weird, I think it's just the way the picture is taken makes the back wheel look much larger than the front.

Ash-Kennard Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 and the toptube and the downtube join half way up the frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 In fairness, if it's the one I think it is it's got twin top-tubes (from the pics on OTN), so they can get away with being thinner I s'pose. Looks interesting though. Long low and black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 beacause it has thin tubes its weak f**king hell some people.Seriously, there was no way you looked at that bike and though, "wow, this could be well strong".It looks brittle to f**k. Strong breeze and you have a crack. Don't even let it rain, you will have dent's where the rain hits it. More then one drop in the same place and it's a hole.Looks nice though, except for the whole anorexia thing they've got going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 The thing is that if you reduce the diameter of a tube but increase the thickness you get a flexier tube that's just as strong. So maybe it' s for a different ride feeling ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 i say £500 That's not what you said earlier Anyways, like I said - two top-tubes = don't need two normal size ones, do we... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Evil Imperial I rode in the US in 2003. The original Raleigh Choppers, AMP Research full sussers (though that may have been twin down tubes)...
