Jolfa Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 They still havn't sorted the BB drop on these frames?! Isn't it about time they designed one that isn't meant for suspension?!They look great, but ride awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehukatti Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Well Ryan basicly designs this frame for a shortened suspension fork, as it's the way he likes it.If you want a frame with massive bb rise for just doing the sidehop-gap-pedalup thing and call that street riding, then obviously this is not for you.

Jolfa Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) Not massive rise, but a drop is never goodWas gutted when I got mine. Edited March 15, 2008 by Jolfa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swervin Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 mehukatti,Beautiful bike. I just got my 09 Manifesto frame in and I think its identical as your version.Since you actually have one built up I wondered if you can help me out a bit with mine? I am unsure what size rims I can fit on her without having clearance issues. Most Rims Im seeing are insanely wide...46mm. I am deciding weather to buy to Echo Urban front rims in red or just get a black set of Alex Dx32'sIm going with a- Juicy 7 carbon front brake- Magura Hs33 rear- Sram Carbon XO shifterI still need to get all the other parts so any tips would be great. I am thinking of Hope Pro II rear hub and any front hub really. I am also planning on having maybe 6 rear gears and a 28t up front as I still want to be able to ride with some speed around the city.Any help greatly appreciated S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Thats nice man. looks like a wee street beast. Itll manual so easy!Double disc is sweet too.I dont think the saddle suits the bike though. A smaller saddle slamed would be the way I would run it. Oh and you better watch you dont hit your pedals on the ground when your riding around corners!

chimpanzyyyy Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Well Ryan basicly designs this frame for a shortened suspension fork, as it's the way he likes it.If you want a frame with massive bb rise for just doing the sidehop-gap-pedalup thing and call that street riding, then obviously this is not for you. even for streety spinny manualy stuff I m sure it should be better with a 0 or a +1 bb risebike looks lushI hope it will suit your riding style, that's the main point Edited February 11, 2009 by chimpanzyyyy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I think it looks pimp, as a street bike will ride sick however TGS style is gonna be a bitch on that Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Virtually the next best thing to 26in bmx handling with the bb that low. Edited February 13, 2009 by Rusevelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swervin Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I'm thinking of Running a fox f80 fork on this same frame. Any thoughts ???S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
