AdamR28 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 New MBK T1000 Evo2 frame to be available at the start of 2007.Geometry as follows: 1090mm wheelbase (with Koxx Forxx), 380mm Chainstays, +40mm BB rise. Weight 1.793kg/3.95lbs! Horizontal dropouts with internal chain tugs like seen on the Ben Slinger prototype frame, very neat.Pictures: Obviously these are computer generated images so far, however we have seen pictures of the prototype frames. They seem to have a glittery dark purple/black finish which looks suprisingly pimp! We also have heard news of a 20" frame and MBK parts, details of those to follow when available!CheersAdamPS: Note to mods - tried to post this in News forum but it didn't seem to appear (I am aware the topic needs approving, however the 'Post New Topic' button refused to work! Please feel free to move this topic as appropriate.) Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) Looking Very sexy, loving the CNC'd parts that dont look like a solid block with slots in the side.Is that 135mm spacing or 116?I was under the impression that they were used for comps a lot, so is there a hanger available for it?PS: is it me or is the perspective a little out on some of those pictures?

Dan6061 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 They've gone all out on CNCing eh? Does look nice though...Can't wait to see this MBK Mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Looking good, is that 135mm spacing or 116?I was under the impression that they were used for comps a lot, so is there a hanger available for it?135mm spacing, sorry, forgot to mention that!Now UCI comps allow single speed, I would expect a lot of UCI Competition frames to go this way... I don't think there will be a 'hanger' version, but will ask Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice that its still 135mm, nice stiff wheels and good hub choice. Edited November 17, 2006 by Dont you Just Hate it When... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 that looks like i could bend the top tube with my finger, and blue would be lush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Think it looks soooooo nice. Loved the MBKT1000 frame, and this is even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewannnn Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 best looking frame to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 My T1000 has been ace so far, so i cant wait to get my Evo 2 frame soon. I think the Evo is guna be stiffer aswell and its lighter and looks better in black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 One word... wow By far the best looking frame ever made, looks like something special and not just a cheapish design with loads of "drilled bonuses" added to it. It looks a bit tall for 40mm rise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 dam, I was hoping the bb would go lower next time ditto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt! Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I love it.Is a very attractive frame,i agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam-pantera Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 That frame looks the bomb and im kinda glad about the gears thing i mean its abit poo when u turn up to a comp and get turned away because u dont have gears also i think that the frame will be strong as to bend the top tube uve got to get threw the 2 inch thick down tube very nice i might have one of them .

grantham Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 knew this has been coming out for some time now, have to say i'm disappointed with it, thought the BB would have been lower, and by not having the facility to run gears it has cut off a large part of the potential market.Hopefully the extra cncing to the rear will have cured the flexy rear end problem.

Walleee Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I can't wait to find out the geometry of the mod, could be a very interesting frame indeed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I have seen pictures of the prototype and the colour is glittery/purple/black mix and looks pimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewannnn Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 (edited) I am very interested in the mod, any geometry on that yet? Also what are the pricess going to be for it? Edited November 19, 2006 by Ewannnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCongreve Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 That looks amazing, and the geometry sounds really good aswell I want one! I hope they're not too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Don't really like it, i think its the toptube that i don't like.40mm bb rise is too much for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
