Rusevelt Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Solid and simple looks like its aimed at street tgs, though the bb height is a wee bit high for most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 The rear splitter looks awesome. Did make that yourself? I like the frame apart from the faff around the bb. Yes I did make the splitter myself, not massively easy. And its not realy "faff" around the BB, the wings are there for a reason, they help to stiffen the rear of the frame, and they do a very good job of it!

Ross McArthur Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 The words "prototype frame", tingles my balls like mint shower gel. Looking forward to what Rockman come up with as a paint job for this. The dragon on the Slate looks a bit guff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacecottrials Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I quite like the extra bits around the bb, its a nice bit of detail on a relativly simple frame. So it is is beauty with a purpose imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 A slightly thinner OD top tube and sorting out the lines of the seatstays/top top a touch and this could be soooo lush dude Any chance of a better perv-shot of the dropouts?

Ross McArthur Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 2 bolt booster (Not needed, but I like extra hold) I have rubbed my eyes twice and I still cant see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I have rubbed my eyes twice and I still cant see it! Need to rub them abit harder Ross!, haha, when writing the spec I put that in because thats whats on the bike now, forgot the pic didn't show it I know what you mean about the top tube Rainbird, it is actualy the same diameter as the downtube, but doesn't look it . Not sure what you mean about the top tube/seat stay lines though, I thought they were pretty spot, straight line is the way forward......

Luke Rainbird Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Ah fair shout - looks a little chunky there. Slightly slimmer than the downtube for maximum win, perhaps! May just be the light making it look like the SS/TT join is slightly out - will check it out on a proper monitor at some point and no doubt it'll look lush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Theres something about the dropout area.... I think its that theres more seat stay than chain stay. It would look better the other way around imo. Whether or not its like that for a reason I dont know? Plus, the dropout its self looks too short?

Greetings Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Isn't that just a Slate with slate crossed out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Isn't that just a Slate with slate crossed out? Not realy, different geo, weight, tubing. And like has been said in previous posts, this is the first prototype and there is likely to be a few alterations yet! Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclip Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 The reason Im being funny about the isis2 proto is because it looks crap up too this. One of the nicest rockman builds ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Why not reserve judgement until the final frame's out, instead of saying that based on a totally raw frame with no graphics, which is the first prototype of a new type of frame?

Paperclip Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Why not reserve judgement until the final frame's out, instead of saying that based on a totally raw frame with no graphics, which is the first prototype of a new type of frame? fair point but my view is at least if we say what we think Adam can then go back too Rockman and say , You've given me a good riding frame and there's about a 50/50 show of hands too who likes the look's of the proto and then who would prefer the final model too be slightly more based towards the original isis frame, Im not saying it dosent look good and the geo dose look pretty decent however it would be cool too see the frame resemble the old isis a little bit (not asking for rockman too remake the old isis).

craigjames Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Surely it's not that different? Simple round top and down tube, webbing at the seatube/bb area, yes it has smaller, tidier dropouts and no paint or graphics but it's not that different and it is a proto. It's an evolution of a previous model, how many many new models come out looking exactly the same. Seems like you're too hell bent on bumming the original Isis to give this one a chance to actually get to a production version where you may be able to pass judgement.
