New Iolobikes.com Look / Update


IOLO

I know, but the idea of a steel mod seems really backward to me. I see them as comp bike's so steel would be too heavy. If I had a stock it would be for thrashing and i'd want it strong so steel would be great.

Maybe if you manage to throw a few out and they look good i'll get one, I just think it would be difficult to impress me using only steel tubing, having said that, I own a monty which has very little CNC work at all, infact I think only the dropout's/Disk mount is CNC'd if not forged or cast.......

ohh so every weld is sanded like they do on cannondale's and other pimp bicycles?

I found out the other day that Cannondale don't sand the welds, it's a by-product of the heat treating process which causes the excess weld to soften and flow into a pool. It's not enough to structurally affect the weld, but enough to make it look pretty.

That said, they may sand a little before paint to tidy them up a bit though!

Just becasue it's steel doesn't make it heavy ^_^

Aran have you made a mod yet? I'm riding a triton mod at the moment which seriously rocks my world :P but a bit of steel might send me over the edge!!

glad you all like ! :)

sry nick i could contact you, and i got impatient and had a go myself,

and the product is pretty good.

thanks VERY much anyhoo x

price change is due to the quality increase,

EVERY weld on the frames is now SUPER smooth...

i have expanded on equipment ect..

i know £100 is quite alot..

but the frames are easyily worth it, and no where else will go as custom as me.

but yes deng frames are getting cheaper.

but i have given up competing with that range of price,

because people will realise the products are completly different.

i still undercut the similar and not quite so custom companys nicely :-

cheers peeps

iolo.

I'm liking that little jibe :P
