ben_travis Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 twas a bit harsh, your first comment being coust = shit frame, when it obviously isnt, they are stiff, good on the back wheel, and are long, maybe your problem is the aesthetics, which is a personal opinion, but your choice of sentance was veyr harsh, because the coust design is proven to work although i do agree when you say the stickers look gash, i hate the yellow ones. incedentaly (sp?) how much did you pay and is it first or second gen frame cheers ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

br3n Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 hmm... why didnt you just get a zoo out of interest? and how can u worry about the look of it when u have a ruler and an inner tube strapped on. A downtube is there to be landed on, stop mincing about ur bike and ride it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why with the comment of stop mincing about, I know when I get a new frame I don't like denting it. Also what makes you think he doesn't or wont ride it? For all you know he could ride a shit load more than you! There really is no need to be a cocky wanker in posts like this. Doesn't help this forum. People don't like to post now because of comments like what you have said above. I know your now going to reply, giving it all this "what gives you the right to call me a cocky wanker" go ahead.

Nice to know opinions are always welcomed, as long as there not bad ones, or dont conform to your own... Meh, Matt did say you looked cramped on the XTP when you came down the other weekend. I personally thought you looked ok on it, except for the whole tapping thing, which you didn't quite get on the XTP (Y) *pets tyre marks on that white box by the balls* Never really like cousts for some reason, although i do like Dannys, but thats probably because i like the way he rides it actually (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
