ForrestDump Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Gu'day everyone, So i decided to do away with my Zoo! Lynx frame and finally go dual disk for the new year. Here is the result of that choice... Hope you a like it. The spec can be put up on request if needed. Photos were taken with my phone so may be a little rough around the edges. Thanks, James 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, unlike some riders I don't run mine near to upside down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkdougie Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Looks a lovely clean bike, bash ring needs moving though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForrestDump Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Looks a lovely clean bike, bash ring needs moving though Cheers fella and yeah, I've been meaning to do that. Its a new freewheel so as it tightened on the crank the bash ring has moved, very annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncy H Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Looks nice dude! Fancy selling my the lynx frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials hoe Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 very nice indeed glad you didn't take the green colour theme too far and make it tacky, but team green brakes would make the green theme for me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny00135 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Looks very tidy and get that bash sorted out Edit: that sounded a lot less dirty in my head.. Edited January 21, 2013 by Danny00135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customrider-Rhys Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 you'll love dual disc mate! its better than maggie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForrestDump Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Looks nice dude! Fancy selling my the lynx frame? Sorry fella, its not for sale at the moment... That said it is pretty beaten up as well haha very nice indeed glad you didn't take the green colour theme too far and make it tacky, but team green brakes would make the green theme for me . I get really picky when it comes dow to what my bike looks like, just the right amount of each colour. I thought about the team hopes, but... (this will possibly sound really fussy) they're just the wrong shade of green completely! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customrider-Rhys Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 and the bike looks really nice mate, i would get a pro carbon downtube protector on it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForrestDump Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 and the bike looks really nice mate, i would get a pro carbon downtube protector on it though! I've thought about a protector... in the end its a trials bike and they tend to get a bit beaten up. I try to ride as smooth as i can which is a plus.

Exactly!! If it was a deeper and darker green... more like a 'British Racing Green'... it would look so much nicer, and it would also suit the 'Made in Britain' factor that Hope have! May have to look into a nice way of putting on a downtube protector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForrestDump Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 the downtube protectors look nice anyway I think that goes down to personal preference... I'm studying product design so i can get really picky about things haha (my friends know this best when my bike is in question). But yeah, I could cut it down to make it nice and slick.

But yeah, I could cut it down to make it nice and slick. fair enough, i get quite picky but i dont mind the look of the protectors, yeah cut it down to like half and stick it on, you could always double it up aswell then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought that the protectors would be good against general knocks and scuffs compared to a big hit... being carbon fibre n all i thought they would just crack and then a new one would be needed.

bing Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 think one of these is gonna be my next frame, was gonna go down the echo 24 route but I think I want a high bb compy mod now. already have all the right other bits, just want a decent frame now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
