JackMeek Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 On behalf of ben who had to dash off to do some stuff. Got a email with this new Gem of a bike. Im sure once he has a second he will be able to produce all the measurements and ideas behind his new bike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian J Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Looks really good! Tapered steerer is fantastic, simple nd effective frame design, cool drop outs on forks with loads of weld contact at the top of legs, sweet colour and u6! Hopefully geo is good!

Luke Rainbird Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Looks tidy, shame they didn't try a new colour though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Looks tidy, shame they didn't try a new colour though What colour would that be then? Deng pretty much rinsed the stock of previously unused colours Does look nice, but downtube looks obese. and headtube looks berserk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 It' striking, it's a good spec and all but I still maintain that the only manufacturer who gets the frame/fork paint jobs right is Koxx. Rockman framesets look striking as long as they remain a frameset. The finished product is a bit strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Dunstan Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Stoke-On-Trent inspired head tube. It's a munter, but looks like it'd be nice to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant wildman Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Tapered steerer fork is a great idea for trials , surprised it had not been done sooner ! Bike looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 What colour would that be then? Deng pretty much rinsed the stock of previously unused colours Haha I meant more along the lines of "try a something new with the colour scheme rathern than just blagging the same process as Drei's Onza" but you get my drift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC12345678910 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) I get the advantage of tapered steerer and like the idea, but surely that headtube could be machined in a way so it doesn't look so damn fat! EDIT: anyone else think the forks look alot like urbans? Edited May 6, 2011 by CC12345678910 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Old style HS33 Tomacs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Old style HS33 Tomacs? I too was surprised to see such spanking new 04 brakes still around. Ben obviously likes/prefers the 04 lever, as do I. Colour looks nice, graphic looks gash, gussets at the seat/chain stays have always looked crap on Rockmans/any other bike but I bet the whole things stiff as a morning boner.
