Mark W Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Man, I loved that frame when I had mine up and running. It was seriously one of the nicest frames I've ever ridden, and everyone who rode my bike was into it too, even fag stock riders. They're too good - just get a decent build on the go gradually and do it justice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidehop Stuart Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 just get a decent build on the go gradually and do it justice! im doing it up better as i go along im changing the forks for sure, im just gonna have to wait till my GCSE's are over.

Alex-Mitchinson Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Looks really bad IMO, might just be due to the terrible pics though. Im sure I've seen this question asked loads before but.....what is the actual point of dropped stays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf the Yellow Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 You dont need to split the chain. oh no, such a mission back to the bike: its good if you get it built properly with no crappy colours steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Yeah, you don't need to split the chain, the gap in the face of the dropouts means they've put some built-in tensioners in (That push the wheel backwards, from inside the dropout) which are pretty sweet, and the back end always felt mo'f**king stiff to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidehop Stuart Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 The back end of my bike is fine, its just the front which needs sorting out, ive added handle bars today with some lock on grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey B Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Is there a word for a prototype that isn't actually a prototype anymore? Just old news... Can't still be a prototype being that it arrived on the scene about 2+ years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 A "prototype" is just a pre-production model of something, which this frame is, so it IS still a prototype? It'll always be a prototype. It was going to be Ben Slinger's signature frame, potentially replacing the T-Master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 With some black forks, and a matching front wheel, it'd look smart, but how does it ride? Be sure to let us know when you get it finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Forks are temporary until i get some smart guys Don't bother with Onza forks in general mate. They're all about the same geo, and all ride bad (apart from the stock versions, they're pretty good ). Save up and get some Echo Lites or Urbans?
