I've been thinking recently about buying a rockman mod frame, but I searched the forum for information and most people were saying the quality of the frames are bad and they're not for bashers.
I'm wondering if, since then, quality of the rockman frames (specifically manus' and aurems) has improved?
Also, what would you class as a basher?
I've never cracked, snapped or even dented a frame before, But I have destroyed the chainstays on my ice with scratches from failed sidehops (I don't scratch them as much now, just used to hit them really hard when I failed, I would be using a hose on the chainstay and carbon protector on the down tube.) but apart from that my frame is in decent condition.
Also it says on tarty 'this is a serious competition frame' for the manus 2 but not for the aurem 4. Why? Is the aurem stronger?
If youve seen my riding, do you thnk i could get away with riding one and not killing it in a few months?I'd probably change frames again a year later so I'm not expecting it to last me years.
Thanks for any help
