Bigman Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Right, ai just curious as i want to know what peoples oppinions of the new adamants are like....If you have one, what setup are u running and how do u feel it rides compared to other frames out there, what are the measured wheelbases people are getting, how does the +25mm BB feel......I realy like the look of them, but i want to know what other peoples initial impressions are.ThanksAdamPS: Idealy wanting reviews of Stock ones, not Mod stock......

ben_travis Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) Well the geo is the same for both frames. So the review will be the same whichevre you went for (stock or modstock)I will be biased as an opinion giver. However after watching my own videos back again, i think my riding is better now than it was on the high bb bike. i am smoother, i can go bigger, i am enjoying myself more on this bike.Its a case of each to their own, but i would reccomend it, none of the taps in my video ar ebelow 53 inch, and i struggled with that height sometimes on a higher bb adamant. Its definately a tappable bikeIn reply to ASH kennard, i found that changing the front tyre back to a single ply high roller totally kicked my taps into gear. so maybe it wasnt dan-ko's frame more the components on it.EDIT: all the guys round here can ride my bike alot easier than any other bike i have ridden. Greg (not on forum) is going to get one because he has ridden mine, and i think towler might get an adamant short a1 07 because he likes the way my long rides as well.
