Jamie_Neal Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Very nice design. Internal cable routing that makes sense as it comes out by the rear brake. Lovely intergrated brake booster.Is it and 1.5" head tube with reducer cups as well??Not sure about the colour and it could do with the option for gears - apart from that - great.

Chris Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Is it and 1.5" head tube with reducer cups as well??No, standard 1 1/8" headtube with an integrated headset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZZA Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 finally someone has seen sense and made brake mounts how brake mounts should be made. i have had that in my head along time,but who do you go to with ideas? and people who dont think about how much stuff like that will improve the brake, spouting how crap that idea is.

TomR Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Not so sure on the colours and the bend in the top tube, but a very funxtional looking bikes. Do the brake mounts let the maggie slide down for 24"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Not so sure on the colours and the bend in the top tube, but a very funxtional looking bikes. Do the brake mounts let the maggie slide down for 24"?I think that's just for the eccentric dropouts. Not 24"Yeah, also not keen in the bend in the top tube, well, not so much that, as the way it goes down up down, too many changes of direction, if the seat tube was a bit shorter to make it strait after the curve ti would look nicer.But besides looks, it seems like its been designed really functionally and I'm sure its a beast. That design of break mount would kick ass with a Vee break! The eccentric dropouts are cool, but wouldn't really work with a normal hub would they? would have to be proII style bolts. Anyway, whats wrong with horizontal dropouts for chain tensioning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_scott Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) Like how the magura hose feeds through the frame... also like how the pistons sit.Fresh ideas! Edited March 17, 2007 by Mr_scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomR Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Ah right, looks like a bit too much adjustment for that though, but i guess accounting for the depth of rims aswell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) Typical German work, neat, practical and I don't like it.Wouldn't mind one of these though, they've implemented some really interesting ideas.EDIT: oh and that Syntace frame is even more interesting, they've got a valve in the bottom tube with which you can apparently adjust how the frame feels - by creating a vaccum it becomes more springy and works harder.

Although i could see internal cable routing getting annoying personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 True, I guess its only really loading bikes onto racks and stuff like that. Mainly, its just neat and looks cool. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
