Mark W Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 this is where mikebike welds his frames, they will do any frame geometry you wish but take into account that the frames are totally random. 3 mates ordered 3 identical frames from Bikepol and the difference between longest and shortest frame was about 4cm if I remember correctly. Yeah, not the first time I've heard of that either. That Zoo/BT hybrid does look pretty tasty though, in a "strong as oxes" sorta way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) At least we're famous for something !!! Mark: frankly speaking Mielec are among the most durable frames we use. They are made of soft aluminium which normally results in the dropouts changing shape. In the past (don't know how it is now) you couldn't get the headset in because the head tube had an elliptic shape. Yet I think that fewer Mielec frames have cracked in Poland than Koxx/Echo/ZOO frames - and taking into account that there are about 3-4x more Mielec frames, this is a very good result.
