Roman Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 While browsing CleanBikes I stumbled across the YaaBaa Mururoa and Its perfect for me 1050 WB and 400 CS V mounts and I can run a regular seat and post .But before I part with my cash I would like to hear your opinions on the company and the frame in questionRomanPs here is a pick of a Mururoa Built uphttp://yaabaa.com/mururoabike.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Its a koxx with different stickers. The cheap brand of koxx like zona is the cheap brand of onza I think.I personally think it looks bad but if you like it get it...Look at the bb drop on it!

Ducko Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 looks like a nice frame, price is very nice!worth a buy id say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 YaaBaa's Mururoa doesn't seem too bad really . Sure , it doesn't fit in with today's trend towards longer frames with higher BBs , but that's the whole point of an offshoot company like Koxx's YaBaa , it's a solid base for learning on . With careful selection of components , this could be a great introduction to our sport . Let us know how you get on . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat hudson Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 bb fall is wanktabulous. really not nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 That looks pretty nice, especially for the price. Surely you could get some forks to counter the BB drop though? Level it out at least? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Geary Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Looks like it'll ride shit, whats the geo ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 My e-skills arn't good enough to tell how a frame will ride by looking ta a picture of it on the internet. Obviously yours are...Sorry, but when a bike has a bottom bracket drop, and long chainstays, you can sort of guess it wont ride all that grand.My first bike had bottom bracket drop and huge chainstays, and it rode shit.Fine if you want to pop manuals and do flowing stuff, but for control and ridablity (or anything trials infact), that combination just doesn't work, hence its from a Koxx frame that was sold like 4 years ago, that Koxx Six or something it was called i think.

MikeCottTrials Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 that bike is butt ugly and it looks like the ride i got from my concept moose (that was a real bike) but if you want it then fair enough but why you would want to go essentially backwards on the scale of trials frames i have no idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunkey_monkey_boy Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 after 12 years of riding all sorts of bikes i went back off an echo control to a monty with bb drop and am riding so much better. stuff the fact it doesn't have conventional modern geo, go for it and rip it, it'll be great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 There's no real excuse to buy something like that if you ask me. You can spend £24 more and get a T-Rex which is a decent up-to-date frame, or £50 more will get you a Pure. If you go second hand, you can probably get either of those frames I mentioned for £100 ish. So no, don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 If you want an old school frame with 400mm stays go for something like a giant, I still love mine, but it was killing my back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 You racist C.U.N.T Well fanny boy, im not racist i've been to france many a time and 95% of the french are wankstains, thus my dislike for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.McMillan Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Perfect frame my arse, , what are you talking about its looks just like a normal mtb frame, well its in your opinion soo, if you like it go for it, just doesnt float my boat like most people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Ive just discovered that my monty has bb drop!But i think it feels lush, just goes to show...Try it, or try and get the old koxx version of this frame maybe, as it will be cheaper second hand?
