AdamR28 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 It's about 140mm IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 which means? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Which means that to get one the same, that's the one he'd need to buy? Chris, if it's a 140 then the dude wanting it will have more than enough clearance to run the BB, just means his cranks will be spread a bit wider than if he was running the thinnest BB he could (113) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 IIRC = If I Recall Correctly.Oh, and 140mm refers to the distance in millimetres from one end of the bottom bracket axle to the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 2012 Fourplay bikes are now on show at Inspired's site. Shorter rear end, higher BB, shorter offset forks, win! New colourways too - a new Purple Pro and a Blue Team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Good to see more purple bikes! Looks pretty badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Good to see more purple bikes! Looks pretty badass. Definatly. Any chance that colour is going to be available as a frame only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDâ„¢ Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 That team looks freakin' awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 What's the geo on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) What's the geo on it? 2012 Geometry: - Wheelbase: 1020mm - Chainstay: 375mm - BB Height: +25mm - Head Angle: 73˚ 2011 Geometry - Wheelbase: 1020mm (measured with Inspired Fourplay fork) - Chainstays: 380mm - BB rise: +20mm - Head angle: 73° So 5mm shorter on the chainstay, but an extra 5mm BB height. The purple looks great, although I'm not too sure about the team colours frame and forks. Edited February 27, 2012 by AndrewEH1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Definatly. Any chance that colour is going to be available as a frame only? I wouldn't have thought so, necessarily - generally speaking the aftermarket frame colours are only from the Team bikes, not the Pro bikes. EDIT: One thing I would say is that the colours all look better 'in real life' - I got to check them out at The Bike Place show and they look sweet in person!

Mark W Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Possibly... Inspired seem to have colours that are quite hard to replicate properly. Whenever I was doing photos of their stuff I always found I had to play around loads in Photoshop to get it right. I'd say 4130Studios (who did these ones) did a pretty good job though!

Topsy Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Also their colours seemed to change last year, some hex's I saw in the shop were nearly pink and some nice dark red ^^ Anyone know if a frame would come with HS33 mounts again?

Revolver Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I hoped the bb would be higher than that. Still, looks fresh and I'd love to try one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 They are too nice, that's just made my mind up. XC bike has got to go to make way for a 24! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New colourways too - a new Purple Pro and a Blue Team. normally i hate blue but that team looks gooooood! any idea when these will be available as a frame only? currently saving every penny i can earn towards a new frame, im going to need one before the summer, as my frame is just not safe to ride anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'm not entirely sure, sorry. I think last year there wasn't much of a gap between the frames and bikes coming out, but we'll see! The Fourplay Pros dropped yesterday, they look pretty sweet in the flesh. Really like the purple! It's pretty subtle, but still sort of stands out in a weird way. Also did a little video of them too for those who are interested: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) TRA with discs rear.. hmm, when does this frame come out in the shops? Want one soo badly! Edited June 10, 2012 by Skorp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 A Hex with disc tabs is definitely something I'd be interested in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
