Synergy Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 so for a ttl mod rider who dnt no much about stock, whats the difference between old ashton and new ashton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 oh yes those monty bars look fantastic on that bike, you'd think they were made for each other.The only problem is that disc mount, unless im missing something it looks to be a standard dropout much like on the old limey's which I wouldn't want to be putting a disc on, maybe it's a cost thing where it's cheaper to get them and not bother machining away the disc mount but it could help to shd some weight - get the file out ali might aswell do it properly if your going to Ti and carbon bits.

' Mart ' Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 looks lush, very smart and rear disk mount aswell, may have to start saving my pennies !!!!agree with you to ali, graphics looks smart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 looks pretty alright, but the new control is basically the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Geometry wise, it doesnt look much different to the 06 justice. dont agree with the slacker head-angle, considering its only 1080 wheelbase. Martyn should have kept the head angle at 73 degrees. the white paint job does look a beauty because it makes the geometry and angles more revealling, unlike the black 06. i wonder what the second colour is going to be? Whatever martyn does with the graphics, its gonna look slick anyway. i guess its still made from 7075 alu, instead the newer Full Ultra6 alloy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddy Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 the proto ali has is made fom u6, and the head angle has changed as ali was wanting more uic geo (so slacker head angle for better tapps ect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 The graphics are just mock-ups, as is the colour.Geometry isn't much different, no, but the BB is around 15mm higher, and obviously the extra wheelbase changes things a lot. Last year's frames were 7005 (you can't weld 7075) and this prototype is U6. There is another 6061-T6 prototype being tested I believe.Disc mount was something Martyn asked us to check over, I think I will be recommending the non-disc versions of the dropouts instead.This is only a prototype frame and is set to be an additional model in the range to the 'standard' Justice (as far as I am aware).

Ali C Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 the old frame with a 1050 wheelbase and 73 head angle was one of the longer frames out there reach wise! If it had a 1080 wheelbase and 73 head angle you woul need arms like gorrillas to ride it!I wanted this geo (as well as gav bedford) as it will help with comps, the slack head angle is loads better for taps and roll downs and the reach is still short enough for it not to be a pain to get on the rear.the disk mount isnt final, I will advise martyn to either have a beefier one on or non at all.Glad people are liking it though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 so will there be a shorter version like the old one? still looks good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
