bquamb Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Id have to say Toxxins dont like pitbull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackghostknife Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I think it depends on personal preference but i would say i prefered riding the Toxsin i rode in Portsmouth to Pitbulls.. but if i was going to get one of the 2 frames i would definetly get a Pitbull as it comes in a shorter option which is 1065 and is what i would get and they look so nice around the Seat-tube (Y) both lovely frames.

Matt_Tupman Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) I found the Pitball a little to clumpy (Y) but it really does depend on what your going to use either frame for. I'd go Toxin Edited August 24, 2005 by Xdream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Drewery Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I prefer the toxsin as its a nice length for me, not ridiculously long but still long enough for me to feel comfortable on, im tall you see (Y) . The pitbull never really has appealed to me, not sure why, i have heard about them cracking around the brake mounts too which is dodgy.

munkee Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 toxsin (Y) ← Frickin idiot... Anyways my vote goes for toxsin since i ride one so im allowed to be biased and not back up my argument with any evidence what so ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Don't be silly, it's personal preference. Half the people that vote won't have ridden either of them anyway. You decide, it's you that has to ride it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson© Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I would say Toxsin... as I have ridden both the Pitbull ( own one ) and the Toxsin... and the Toxsin is more flicky and a very nice length and seems pretty strong and looks lovely, but also the Pitbull is a ace frame too and is strong... but out of the both I would say Toxsin. Toxsin gets my vote... but none of them are sh*t so any choice you make will be a great one :P Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVE-0 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I would say the toxsin as well because the pitbull's just look awkward and i really like the shape and style of the toxsin. It looks really nice on rear wheel :P Its more my kind of bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovel Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 well i've got a toxsin and i haven't rode a pitbull before, i can say though that the toxsin rides really nicely, really stable and easy to keep your balance on natural and on the street its really easy to keep control of one of the reasons i went for the toxsin was that i wanted a longer bike but didn't want to fork out a heap of money for a coust or koxx etc. and i haven't been disappointed at all, for the money the toxsin is awesome, the overall quality of the frame is very good, the welds are very well finished and the bike feels stiff to ride which does boost your confidence alot as most other people have said though, it will come down to personal preferernce but it would help if you could get a shot of one or both bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashZen Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 I would think the Toxsin is slimmer and lighter. Is it? I love the length (1110mm wheel base for me). A complete new feel compared to my old Orange. :( and at last, tapping the front wheel without being vertical. :(" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 the toxsin is actually a lil more heavy. ok thanks for all your input people, iv decided to play safe and keep my toxsin untill i can get a ride on a zoo to see if i like or not. cheers people :closedeyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Garland Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I love the length (1110mm wheel base for me) ← Erm you must have some bent forks or some serious rake, mines 1090 with Urbans. Get a toxsin, they ride very sexual, I own one myself, mate has a Koxx 1065 and jumps on my bike and is like "feels so silky and smooth, really nice to ride" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Erm you must have some bent forks or some serious rake, mines 1090 with Urbans. ← Yea mine came out as 1095 with urban forks ( before they cracked so probably had necked some which gives the 5 at the end) i think its about the same now with control disc forks. What forks you running sir trashzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 After a few weeks (or months for some people) of riding a frame you will get so used to it that a few mm differences in length or different angles don't really matter...One won't make you better than the other, they are both great frames and in the end you will ride either one just as well.
