Joe Papasnap Maher Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Well - i got mine today ( an ashton - as cane be seen here http://www.joemaher.co.uk/ashton.jpg )And id say its its a mix of the two, you can do the whole inch cherishing thing if you want...it doesnt hold you back, but you also have uber fun in diffrent ways.Ive only had a play on mine for about 10 mins...but f**k it was fun, tapping sidehopping all the same as the czar...yet more fun at the same time. Im not the tallest or biggest built so maybe thats why it suits me and my style, but i can only sing praises.I think the ashton holds a great future for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIX Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Have I missed something, or is the ashton not exactly the same geo as the 04 control??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Have I missed something, or is the ashton not exactly the same geo as the 04 control??? you've clearly missed something ashton has a much steeper head angle than the 04 control, controls were 1065 or 1085, the ashton comes in at 1055, and i THINK the 04 control had 385 stays, as id certainly didnt have a CNC'd yoke, it had the koxx/pure style twin plates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) Im going by tartys geo which says ashton 1060, 380 chainstays and 72 headangle.EDIT: from ashtonbikes.comSpec:Chainstay length: 380mm (Centre B/B to rear axle)Wheelbase: 1065mmBottom Bracket height: 20mm RiseHead tube angle: 72 degreesColour: Red Edited February 27, 2006 by JIX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Nah, they're all wrong. Mine (which I've had for about 7 months... looking at this thread you'd think they came out last week...) measures wheelbase at 1052mm, with Ashton fork and Hope headset. Porters measures 1055. BB rise is near enough 20mm, but the head angle is 73 I'm sure. Think chainstays are 380mm. Don't know why Ashton says 1065 - he said 1035 for the old one, and mine measured 1018mm...

JIX Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 ah nice one ian for clearling that up. I thought the headangle was more like 73. Maybe martyn was trying to keep it a secret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yeah, maybe they stuffed it up in the factory, or maybe his tape measure is in Welsh or something. No idea, but I'd rather people knew the real measurements before they bought the frame... as it happens, I'd rather have 1055 than 1065, but I people swapping from longer bikes might not.

Andy P Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Ahhh, I knew it would happen one day - the looooong silver bubble would pop and every one will rush to get a shorter frame again...Long live short bikes My wheelbase ranges from 1035 to 1050 ish, depending on weather I've been hooking or tapping....

Dan-Walker Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 are the ashtons heavy ? .......and do they feel short ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Not particularly heavy. Even if they were a whole pound heavier than average (which they're not) then you'd never notice the difference. They don't feel short, they don't feel long. Just right I'd say...

Dan-Walker Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 ive been riding a lot of natural lately, do they ride nice on natural ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 It's always going to be a matter of opinion. Mine, for me, rides excellent on rocks, but I look at Porter's and think, shit, I could never ride with that bar setup... It's as much about components as it is frame. But all round, the Justice is a good fun bike to have. It's not too short, but it's long enough to be good enough for World class competitions. Just look at what Ali C and Porter are doing on theres, not to mention Ashton himself and Gav Bedford... The proof is in the pudding!!!

Prawny Baby Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 a completely pointless post, which will almost certainly bring NOTHING to the thread....but i have to say, get the ashton! you really HAVE to dan!ive had my first proper ride on mine today.... and im making stuff ive never been able to on my rex or the hifi, it just feels right, length wise, the reach is as long as a T-rex, yet its a 1050 wheelbase! its just PERFECT. i love it to bits!
