Laurence--Trials Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I love the look of these frames, quite unique frame disign. Are they strong? Would like to see a 2011 hifi Why not cut forks down and get higher bars instead of stacker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see a 2011 hifi Why not cut forks down and get higher bars instead of stacker? Cheers man. Well the BB on these is fairly high, so i like to run a high front end. One option would be a mod stem, or high rise bars like trialtechs. Im not sure at the moment. As for strong, well its pretty much a tank. Oh and these frames where discontinued in 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and these frames where discontinued in 2006 Oh really? i thought it looked reasonably high, what is it? Mod stem would make it longer too though, surly high-rise bars would be good? Got TT Sport on there Atm? The CNC headtube bit was making me think that Why were they discontinued? You know? Seem like lovely frames. and maybe one they should consider undiscontinuing I gotta say lovely bike though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsmax04 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Well to my knowledge they never took off. They had fairly radical geometry back then, something allong the lines of: +55 370mm cs 72 head angle Now that is more mainstream geo in todays bikes but in 2006 it was just so extreme. The chain stays are still reasonably short though. Like i said i personally love it edit: been told its 1085, +60, 375, 72 Looking good dude. Perhaps treat it to some new graphics for Christmas? Oh and luke, i quite like it without graphics If i can be botherd might polish it. Edited December 21, 2010 by trialsmax04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theta2 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Well to my knowledge they never took off. They had fairly radical geometry back then, something allong the lines of: +55 370mm cs 72 head angle Maybe it was discontinued as they geo is so similar to the 06 Pitbull? The pitbull was probably more popular :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Why were they discontinued? You know? Seem like lovely frames. and maybe one they should consider undiscontinuing Deng personally believed the design to be a flop and regarded it as weaker compared to a traditional headtube/gusset arrangement, and that it didn't sell well. He wasn't too keen on a lot of weight being focused right at the front either. Me personally I liked the design 'cos it's different and totally unique even though at the release time a lot of people slated it for being an XTP copy. Similar concept, but totally different shape... 2005/2006 were good years for frames! Edited January 4, 2011 by Ares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsmax04 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Haha each and everyone to their own Dave marmite is undergoing some changes at the moment. A new rear wheel and possibly some new cranks has got me quite excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theta2 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Looks good but personally I think that headtube would look better with a squarish sealed headset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
