Mark W Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Chinese brand Born have a new frame out, featuring a 1100mm WB, 385mm CS, +60mm BB and a 70.5° HA. Pretty sweet looking in my opinion! Born also have some updated carbon risers out. 720mm width, 9° back, 12° up, 88mm total rise and new graphics for 2010/2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Are the stickers on the bars laquered on? Sweet descriptive sticker going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Yeah, they're laquered over. And they are indeed light weight for bike trial. EDIT: Glad they decided to keep it simple on the frame graphics front. It doesn't even have a name... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Frame looks really nice and is good value too. Wish it had geometry to my liking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3dd Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) Very nice indeed. What would be the weight of those? 1.6 -1.8? Nevermind you already got those out in the website Edited August 6, 2010 by 3dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Gray Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Love it to be honest, however why would you write that light for bike trials shit on the bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 What's going on there? I take it the stays are hydroformed with designed in gussets/butting for the brake mounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I believe that was the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) That frame is stunning, lots of neat details and a clean tidy look to it I can imagine it's rather expensive mind! Take it back £399 is pretty reasonable for a frame that looks like its had a fair bit of thought and attention to detail put into it.

Dan S Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 sorry to say, but this is really disgusting( The frame looks just like MBK T1000 Evo2, which my best friend snaped in 1.5 months of light riding, so there is no trust in that. And the bars.....well....I actually cracked it by bending over the knee.....without much power applied to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the bars.....well....I actually cracked it by bending over the knee.....without much power applied to it. Right... so any frame that looks anything like a frame that someone else broke can't be trusted? Sorry but that's a rubbish reason to have a poor opinion of anything! And the bars.... well.... did you crack the Born bars or some other carbon ones? Again, you can't really judge one product on the performance of something completely different. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canardweb Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 The only visible disavandtage of this frame, is that there is not enough contact between the chainstay and the seatstay, so that will result in a flexy rear triangle. The main thing is the dropouts then, because if they had put minimalist ones, there would be plenty of weld surface and also weight saving at the end!

And the bars.....well....I actually cracked it by bending over the knee.....without much power applied to it. This isn't an MBK frame though, so... well, it's basically not the same frame. As a result, that has about as much relevance as me riding a fixie and breaking that frame. Regarding the bars, the very first batch of Born bars did break, but they were manufactured incorrectly and that entire batch was scrapped. If you had a set of those bars then they would break that fast, but the correct batch of bars are the same as the Try-All bars which last for aaaaaages. The only visible disavandtage of this frame, is that there is not enough contact between the chainstay and the seatstay, so that will result in a flexy rear triangle. What.
