SQuiT-man Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Thinking about getting a new frame sometime as my 1115 Adamants a bit long for me.I wanted some opinions first though.. whats the easiest "modern"-geo stock frame you've ridden for EASE OF PULLING UP INTO A BUNNY?Ashton perhaps? Hows the Zona Zenith? Im REAL crap at pulling longish bikes up into manuals/bunnys, maybe cos im only 5'9"ish so want something that for you lanky people feels like it'll pull back into a manual practically just by leaning back a lot! What kinda BB height would make this pulling up action easier?Cheers,Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Echo pure, Zoo pitbull 07 short(same geo), Ashton probs.Mat Control, Zenith and don't overlook the good old Koxx levelboss (1040 or 1060)Go for something with a lower bb rise +30 max and put higher bar/stem combo on, riser bars at the proper angle make bunnys miles easier too!

Tony Harrison Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I think it's as much about the components as the frame. My old Ashton (1020mm) used to bunnyhop like a BMX with 2.5" Azonics, but when I lent it to someone and he put Koxx bars on it and no headset spacers, it was like trying to bunnyhop a boat.

Guest Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Something like this...Backsweep is what your after for bunnyhops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Backsweep is what your after for bunnyhops.True, My bike would be better if the bars were angled a bit further back, but it's all about finding that balance for your riding. I have had my bars angled further back than that, but didn't like how it felt for other more trialsy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt rushton Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 When i had my woodstock that was nice to bunny hop on. So a Onza woodstock or some other short frame like 1040-1060.Matt Rushton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Come on, where are all the Base riders ?Base TA26 129 Quid for the frame from tarty, it has a seat tube if you like seats, if not you can do like me and cut a two inch section of seat tube and stick some liquid metal on the top, drop that in inplace of a seat and forget you ever had one, saves about two pound of useless weight.I will post a picture of my set up tomorrow.

Jsy Ben Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Pashley Ghz ! 40mm 5* stem + 1.5/2.0" rise Azonic barsEdit: Realised thats a newer photo with a 110mm 10* stem + 1.5" rise Raceface bars, but it still flew up.

Greetings Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 A short stem will make most bikes easy to bunnyhop but clearly not your Adamant.I'd say a short Control with a flat 90mm stem should be good and still feel like a trials bike.

bitemybutt Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Sorry to sound old, but I remember when a short bike was something like an orange zero and a 1065 Koxx was like riding a train! If you're after a short, but rideable frame go for the Leeson Clear 660 with a longish stem and flat bars. A friend had a set up like that and it was one of the best bikes i've ever ridden. They also have the benefit of being very light with the right set-up. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SQuiT-man Posted April 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 haha, interesting to see I got a few replies like "damons gu long bunnyhops much better than my monty 221pr ever did" and "my ashton doesnt bunnyhop for shit"Did your ashton have a low stem?What do u think about an ashton with a try-all long-but-high stem, and onza cf risers? guess the weight might be a bit over the front though, since the ashtons have steeper headangles, but might be fun for street lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
