yoyoyo Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) why?Lets just say Ali has a thing against high b/b frames. Dammit he beat me to it.Also the A1 looks so much sexier than the A2.Edit: It's only something like an extra 20 pounds for an Ashton.

jacks Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) ah ha. great minds think alike!!!!lolas an owner of one i can say that adamant a1 is kinda one of da best great control on the rear wheelbut currently im switching adamant a1 o6 to adamant a1 o7 due to lower bb because im tired of stupidly high bb my sidehops are not getting better and i blame only the hight of bbmaybe im not right and maybe i should change my low stem, but i dont know any other reasonsabout differences of a1 and a2 06:the last hasnt cnc machined plate on the seatstaysand worse paintworks aswell IMHOhope i've helped you Edited October 15, 2006 by jacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowman12 Posted October 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 ashtom, HMMMM, i dont like those as much as the adamants. the difference is the cnc yolks.the adamant a1 features more of them do these just make it a stronger bike?

Ash-Kennard Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) nah it stands for "can not cook yolks" therefore no ommlette.technically, yes but im practise they are both pretty damn strong.

SubZero Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I really hate high bb bikesjust exspensive pogo sticks :bow: word man!! Go for an ashton! in reality it looks soooo amazing! It's just best!A friend of mine is ridin the A1 but I think they are both good bikesbut too high bb! You must be done for this! Make a test ride if you can!If it must be an Adamant .....i would go............for an Ashton! (maybe A1 07)Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I think the A1 is also slightly lighter tha the A2.Personally i think the BB height on them is just too high. Im not against high BB bikes or anything.Have you looked at the '06 Echo Pure? I've just up graded my frame from the Giant to the Pure and i love it! Slightly cheaper than the Adamant A1.If you have any questions about the Pure feel free to ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 indeed deonn, so thefore the adamant A2 will ride longer, and be better than the A1..... no, longer back end, shorter front. init. and the a2 rides shit IMO compared to the A1, well alex's and chris's anyways.
