Alun Goch Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Looks really good to me. Is it a steel frame? Because the frame looks quite thin, which I also like!Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Nah thats alloy look at the weldscarbon frame?? here me thinks sosure is. wonder how it rides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 the chainstays are really short.They're not, longer then echo lite, echo team, gu typhoon and 05 python if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) Short for a bike that long. The BB isn't particularly high either, so its gunna ride like a tank.Still a bargain, although for £30 more i know what frame i would have.

ogre Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Bit off topic butCan someone explain the highlights of:High/Low BBLong/Short chainstaysLong or Short *other bit of frame i have forgotten ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 High BB - Shorter feel, easier on the rear wheel, twitchy.Low BB - More solid feel, harder on the rear, i feel it allows you to put more power down as the rear end doesnt flick out as much.Long Stays - Lots of leverage.Short Stays - Rear end flicks out quickly, easier to get on the rear.Long Reach (guess its the only thing you could be thinking of) - Considered better for sidehops and gaps, but not so at home on natural.Short Reach - Easier to throw around, manual, and bunnyhop. Coupled with a lower BB (as with monty's) they are great for both natural and street.Reach as depends on height greatly, as a short rider wont want a stupidly long bike for obvious reasons.

joe b Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 For me, i think it looks gorgeous. But the geometry's all orr shant, as some Mansfield lad's would say . It is way too long, and then the bottom bracket rise isn't really high (to accommodate for it's length) which will make it ride gash! But like i said, i think it looks lush. Very simple design, no massive CNC yokes. And it has a bargain price, too! Cheers,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medwaytrials Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Looks ok, bet it rides horrible though. The geo is completely rong. Compaired to the overall frame length the chainstays are tiny. Trying to pull any power out of it will be impossible. Apart from that though it is cheap and i supose it is another frame on the market.
