omgnoseat Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 It's not that bad?I really think people's way of thinking towards new things is quite stupidI'm pretty sure that when people get used to the look, that they will start to like it more, same thingis happening with the mod prototype, people hated it at first, but more people are starting to like it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 How can a company be so completely and utterly shit at designing even semi-nice looking frames? That just looks terrible!Bearing in mind how much Monty properly screw you for for the X-Lite 221Ti (or whatever little acronym they gave the £530 mod frame...), with all that extra work on it, that frame's gonna be mad expensive. I know people are still going to buy it to get that pro comp look, but even so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 It certainly ain't pretty , but how does it ride ? Is there a valid metallurgical / geometry reason to do this ? If the curves were added just for unique looks , then I'm not impressed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock-N-Load Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Why is there a strange kink in the top tube? Crawford! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makrela Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 As far as i know, the curve in the toptube made it possible to get such a low standover without compromising the strength in the headtube area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 As far as i know, the curve in the toptube made it possible to get such a low standover without compromising the strength in the headtube area.So frames like the GU aren't able to? Anyone think it could give them frame a little more spring when doing front taps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I dunno about that but it's a surefire way of preventing people ripping off your frame designs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will17will17 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) the kink is just something for you balls to say hello to before they smack together..but doesnt look that bad to be honst Edited May 14, 2007 by will17will17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makrela Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 So frames like the GU aren't able to? Anyone think it could give them frame a little more spring when doing front taps?Good call. I should be more thoughtful next time. I think Monty will make it clear in his ads, why this is the best way to make a frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I didn't know Cesar could even ride a 26! Looks... different, which in itself isn't a bad thing. Trying new things and all that. I'll wait til I see something a bit more final before passing judgement. I'm still waiting for the new style 20" Monty's to surface... those things have been in the pipeline for a good couple of years now.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
