DYAKOV Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hey guys, I've had a echo lite 08, adamant a3, monty 221 ti, tried a 06 koxx xtp for a week or two, now have a limey 320 and felt the monty and the koxx more comfortable than all deng&onza frames. Though it should be the +60mm bb rise that I don't like, so either low or very high rise I'm searching for... any suggestions of a short mod frame with low/very high bb? not very light as am still learning and bash a lot.. thought these koxx frames look nice but couldn't find the geo on the net.. if anyone who's had one before can help? cheers!

Blake Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 The 320 has +80bb and like 1000wb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYAKOV Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) does it?? I thought it's +66 http://www.trialmap.it/blog/bike/item/9-onza-limey-320.html here it says +75 though I'm not quite sure, must be about that much then Edited March 14, 2014 by naset000kzk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 +80 for sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYAKOV Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 hmmm, so it's not the bb rise then.. you know how some bikes feel bouncy when you ride and it's very comfortable standing on a back wheel while riding some other frames feels kind of stiffer, don't know how to explain. you know the difference when you ride with hard tyres and when tyres are a bit soft. might be the chainstay length, don't know what would you suggest, I'm about 173cm tall it's a shame there are not many mod riders here in glasgow, so I could try different bikes and see what suits me most....

dann2707 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thought the 320 was +70! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 So did iMy old onza blade was 1015, 360 and +55. My 2011 echo lite is 1020, 350 and +80. It feels loads better than the onza, so much more stable. Shorter rear end does help, and 10mm shorter is very noticable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Just looked it up, it's definitely +70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Short with a high BB and strong... You want this.It's not the highest, but it's pretty damn high. The rest of the geometry is good, very strong, not unreasonably heavy, Spanish BB (for the win!) and - if you're the type inclined to keep it on - a bashplate that's less inclined to destroy your frame. Sounds about perfect for you.Nearly had one myself at one point, but +85 is just too high for my taste.

DYAKOV Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 thanks for the replies fellas, I might go for the because in near future. plan to destroy the limey learning taps first and then keep the new frame in a good condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsalot Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Id go for the earlier version of the because. I ride one and I cant fault the geo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 another vote for the because, really pleased with mine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYAKOV Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 how much roughly do they go for second hand on here? saw the ones on tarty but wouldn't be able to afford 300quid for a brand new one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Ogre's because does feel lovely and stiff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
