Greetings Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 After having countless problems with this frame and almost going through a nervous brakedown, here it is!Currently having to run 158mm cranks which are actually quite nice with a 18:17 gear ratio. Also really impressed with how incredibly stiff the Heatsink booster is - without it I could pull the lever right to the bars There were also other more serious problems but I won't mention them.It rides really nicely but the stem is a bit wrong for such a long wheelbase. Going to get a shorter and lower one soon.Oh and with this bike running, I can finally get down to my 20" A1 project :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smo™ Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Be very wary of the drive-side weld connecting the chain stay to dropout mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baladi Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Are those TryAll rims drilled by you? they look pretty professional made.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall_Rob Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 If it is one of those new noise frames (however it's spelt) it's basically the first version of the KOT that doesn't have a braise on the drive side.The newer version KOT (MS2) has one on each side.Spode frame kept snapping and now mine got a crack too and only had it since December.You'll need to beef it up a bit to stop it snapping in half on the seat and chain stays.I'll get Spode to post up some pics of the plate he had welded on.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) Going back to my Adamant now. This frame has no stiffness at all, the wheel just moves between one pad and the other making it impossible to ride.How the hell can you make such a utterly SHIT frame....Well, cheers for the comments people! And yeah Steve, it is very cheap, got it for 100 quid. Not worth the money though.oh well, might as well post some pics of my ad then nice bit of natural in my gardenit's amazing how responsive and stiff this frame is comparing to that noize bullshit. I wonder if the KOTs are just as bad? Edited March 23, 2007 by Inur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I guess thats not your garden. If it is holy shizzle, nice. I like your bikes strangely enough. Just having green on only the rims makes it look really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smo™ Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 it's amazing how responsive and stiff this frame is comparing to that noize bullshit. I wonder if the KOTs are just as bad?Nah they're not. The '06 model is stiffer than the '05, plus it has the extra plate on the drive-side so it's stronger too. Had my current '06 frame almost a year now and still going strong. Even outlived my Smart Guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe b Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Looks really nice when you can't see the rear hub - that just looks a bit too out of place, especially with the bright green rim's. If the rim's were black then the stealth look would really complement the red hub.Sorry just my opinion... Really good job on the paintwork, though !Cheers,Joe.
