saunders Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 What is this? And how could something so ugly be created? This was only ever a prototype and is one of the frames that got people thinking outside the 'lower your seat, take off your toe clips' box. It may not be a looker but it was pretty revoltionary back in the day and I recon it helped pave the way for the current generation of trials frames. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Luke Dunstan Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Well, when you put it like that! Were there many prototype frames made from other companies in the same era? It would be interesting if anybody had some weird and innovative OLD old skool photos of non production frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I remember that being in mbuk about 10 years ago. Was made by Cortina as you said they were more well known for DH frames. Its ugly but kinda retro cool. Was back when you were limited to megamo's monty's and brisa's and thats was about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I remember that being in mbuk about 10 years ago. Was made by Cortina as you said they were more well known for DH frames. Its ugly but kinda retro cool. Was back when you were limited to megamo's monty's and brisa's and thats was about it! I knew i'd seen that before. It's got Monty parts throughout, but some odd forks.

JohnyMilton Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Little off topic, but this has reminded me of when Echo(i think it was echo) designed a mod with a rear shock, anyone go that video or picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 It wasn't Echo, it was Marco Blau who modified an Echo Lite or Team to run with a rear air shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
