Walleee Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 hmm, what's the score with the 360 dropout's then? Clive got a patent on them or not? seems to be the latter for now.....I really like this bike.Interesting stem too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Those Syncros stems are so gash, yet seem to be taking the Euro world by storm...Thickest grips in the world too, along with that frame having more weld than the average battleship?

isah Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) the syntace screw on grips seems to be pretty awsome.the rider of this bike, tommy pulled them 1 cm behind the bar end. The grips are so stiff you can use them as extension for the short syntace bars (68cm), now 70 cm. Edited July 27, 2006 by isah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive got a patent on them or not? seems to be the latter for now.....I really like this bike.Interesting stem too.Even if he has, then these would probably get around it. You could argue that there not 360, due to the little slot in them to tighten them up etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Absolutely fantastic ideas on that bike, very initiative!Any more info such as geo and availability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loffa Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 They aren't normal Leeson style 360 dropouts.. they look like eccentric(sp?) dropouts, so you can use them to tension your chain just like with horizontal dropouts. Work on the same idea as WI Eccentric rear hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also - AT LAST a bike with some real inovation - not just Koxx wopping out beams and other shite at rediculous prices ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also - AT LAST a bike with some real inovation - not just Koxx wopping out beams and other shite at rediculous prices ...Then why do thing's say 'patent pending'??Surley if you can see it, it's in the public domain, and if the patent is 'pending' it hasn't yet been issued?I duno, regardless, it's a non-issue as these arn't the same as leesons'.

manuel Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) patent pending is mighty difficult to get on a design / product.. so i would doubt clive does but yeah they are very different and so probably wouldnt even be a breach.but does anyone know how many beans I would have to part with to get one ?

Chris Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 These frames are fully custom made. So the price depends on how you want the frame. Will be around 500-700 Euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I saw loads of Hoffman's when i was in Germany, for the UCI Youth Games at the weekend. And i can tell you those brakes are stiff as a b*****d!!! Theres some seriously revelutionary ideas in that bike. Hope they will widen the English market and get them sold over here too, because i know they would get brought...Cheers,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
