Will Arnold Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 very nice, how does it ride?ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HargrovesToby Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 hey guys, ive taken over tobys profile for a while, its my aorta, it rides incredible, the front end is very low but thats because of the monty stem with the low rise, when it gets on the backwheel it sits - i mean like near perfect balance, i also noticed that it feels really stiff. the little welded notch on the chainstay really helps when sidehopping not to damage the chainstay.i switched from a t-pro 06 to this and i can really feel the difference.cheers alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HargrovesToby Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 i'll cry if mine gets stolen it's luverly! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBProductions Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 tempted by getting one , though not really convinced. What did it cost ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HargrovesToby Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 it cost £240, but i had to splash out on bb headset n new forks because all my old ones wouldn't fit, in my opinion though it's definately worth it, it's an amazing piece of kit!

CBProductions Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 What major differences were there to the tpro as I ride one now and I kinda want a change but not too much of a change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Nice bike there, looks lurvly.I would have though that someone would have found CLS's by now, i mean it was the only one in the country at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 What major differences were there to the tpro as I ride one now and I kinda want a change but not too much of a change?It'll most likely be nothing like a t-pro, it has +60 bb rise, and wheel base is 1010.

HargrovesToby Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 thats exactly what i thought when i got mine, the bike is shorter but the headtube is slacker so it feels pretty much the same in that respect, the bb is higher which makes you a bit more over the front but it is soooo much easier on the back wheel, it just sits there. the only down side is that there is no bashplate, i bought a ring for it but can't get the welded acs off my cranks!!lol. all in all its not too much of a change, but it does feel a lot better, not just nicer to ride, but it feels nicer.
