joe b Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Oh dear, oh dear... Who the f**k, like Simon mentioned, had the retarded idea of guiding the magura hosing along the bottom of the down-tube!? Cheers,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 its a UCI comp bike DESIGNED for UCI comps..., how many UCI bummers do u see bashing there downtube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shez.sheridan Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 It's strange, I always thought that the idea of a straight through frame would be a good idea, but worried that it'd like one of them 1980's scooters I had as a kid; it looks worse, they may aswell just have got a plank of wood & attached wheels either end..aesthetically, I wouldn't notice the difference - maybe it's there attempt at a DIY bike frame that'll help get low pay riders to buy into trials, nip down the local 'Focus Garden Centre', give it a lick of creosote & you too can have your very own copy for about 10 quid They'll be telling you to steal one of your Dad's best fence panels & the wheels of your sisters bike, on this weeks blue Peter - I guarantee it - "Next week kiddies, were going to be making a Koxx trials bike - here's one we made earlier..."I've changed my mind -- I like bikes as they are..

Rob Thomson Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I dont like the fact that the BB is literally just hanging off that big feck-off tube...And i dont like the hose routing...and the rear dropouts look a bit flimsy for some reason...I do like the brake idea though, surely that's fecking solid?!?!Like some bits...hate others...Still deciding whether it's quite ok or just shite...I shall see....

Brian Bleech Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 its a UCI comp bike DESIGNED for UCI comps..., how many UCI bummers do u see bashing there downtube?yeah but one mistake and they could catch there downtube on a nice sharp rock and its got a really high bb, which haven't taken off in the uci comp scene.I still don't like either!

Mark W Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 its a UCI comp bike DESIGNED for UCI comps..., how many UCI bummers do u see bashing there downtube? Wasn't it Vincent's bike or someone like that who had a raped downtube? Or the Cousts or someone... Either way, in comps, it still happens? I still remember one of the YMSA comps which had a route where you basically HAD to scrape your bike in between two rocks that formed a V. Some people looked pretty upset after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Yeah, everyone comes up short occasionally. I might come up short on a 32" backwheel, whereas Vince will do the same on a 52". Whereas if it's on the top or side of the tube (or in the tube...) you'll do well to hit it whoever you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people looked pretty upset after yeh vinces downtube was raped at koxx days. erm it looks weird, i duno if i like it. would want to see one for real before i decide. its that weird it might be quite nice. cable routing needs sorting though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planet x alan Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 looking at the frame, the bb shell area looks like it would have a lot of stress put on it with a rider and i dont think i would trust it just welded to the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat hudson Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) its like looking at the sun. it burns your eyes to look at it, but somehow you just keep wanting to do it.or is that just me? anyway, what i was getting at, is that i have crapped out better looking frame designs than that.

Alan Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) Those clamps re more like standard one's bolted into the bottompart of the frame using allen bolt's but not attached to the top part in anyway.Looking at this picture.. http://www.koxx.fr/media/gallery/uploads/H...81-DSCN0231.JPGThe bolt goes through the top part of the frame right the the bottemUsed danny's post and edited it abit Edited August 1, 2006 by T-MAGura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsol Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I think those holes in the top of the frame are just for getting your allen in there to sort out the brakesAnd, just an idea, theres a hole in the frame to the right of "dream bicycles" (clicky) which i wonder if its for routing the hose through the frame, like the...vinco?!

Mark W Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Unless that's for the rear mech cable?Either way, this frame's really grown on me now EDIT #2: Hadn't noticed the mental chain line.
