Luke Rainbird Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I'm having to fight to hold back the vomit, though it'd probably be more attractive than that Savage spec makes it look worse than it could. Hammerschmidt though... This little side project looks fun as hell, but unfortunately this is the only one in existence and there are no immediate plans to produce the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hammerschmidt though... Thats what i was thinking, i know its rediculously expensive. But i does offer a bit of variation to possible moves, let alone the fact you could actually cycle a distance without taking hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 What a clever place to run the gear cable on a trials bike, on the down tube Its bound to get trashed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Will be interesting to see if it holds up alright. Would be nice to know if it can hack it, despite the massive weight penalty. That said I can't see them following this up with much info on that front, if at all!

craigjames Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Well that's pretty grim, Hammerschmidt is a no no for trials as previously discussed, the idea is great, in practice it wouldn't stand up to the abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 That is awesome. Actually- awesome isn't the right word... Disgusting, there we go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borat Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 It's f**king hideous, but I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale-Hill Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 It's f**king hideous, but I like it. +1 :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I saw this on pinkbike... I didn't think it was a trials bike looks more like a dirt jump bike to me... I think the colour is f**king wrong, the pedals, frame and seat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I would ride it! though i would be a little cautious of the juicys and the hammerschmidt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Not a fan. At least a different colour would make it more considerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I like it because it's bright green, other than that it's horrible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpanzyyyy Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 it's a proto... it looks ok IMO would be interesting to see some riding of dylan korba on that thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 f**king short seat tubes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 well at least it hasnt got suspension forks! The build utter shite to be honest buuuut, i do think the frame looks like it could have potential. Whats the geometry on it? Also i keep seeing the hammerschmitt and iscg moints on these "mainstream manufacturers" 24 inchers but i've never actually seen someone ride it in a trials enviroment.

Clawz114 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 All the kids dig the bright, contrasting colors nowadays. Just take a look at the GT BMXs, Mongoose too, although they havnt gone to the extremes that GT have... Yes, these are 2010 models lol! Believe it or not in the run up to Christmas, every single model of GT and Mongoose sold out in November/December (some of them even sold out before November) Even these bright colored ones. Its madness, i think they look terrible, but thats just whats popular atm and it seems to be selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
