I reckon that those ibeam sections would never stand up to the abuse of a downhill course. But then neither did I when I attempted it a few times. But I do like the curves, they reming me of an old monolith frame...

A little weird looking to me. But I guess that's what prototypes are to everyone.

I'll throw a 10 at it cos it's a proto!!!! Why is the chain running over the top of the upper chain-guide roller though? Looks good but you'll have to update as to how it rides at Fort Bill.

diamondratuk replied... on 31 May 2008

If you actually knew anything about this bike. The chain is meant to go over the top guide for a better chain line.

alexaceman replied... on 30 May 2008

i didn't realise that till i had the picture, so i sorted it and took some links out the chain. i rode it at Fortwill and it was amazing the rocks had no chance, since im not doing it on a hardtail i can ride harder!

I've heard good things about these, then I saw one that had been broken in Morzine. Not too keen on the looks of 'em either. That said extra pionts for the rest of the spec.

Remy98 replied... on 25 November 2008
