ive heard of six people with these frames, dj.

six of them have all cracked or broken, and theyve been on the market for how long? 3 months?

this isn't based on magazine or online views i've read, these are real people.

How's Paul M's holding up? if his hasn't snapped then they can't be that bad.

i heard a few things said about the couple of prototype frames but isn't that the whole point of a prototype? build it, break it and build it better.

you could also look at other frames and companies and i'm sure lots of people have snapped them as well??

i've heard nothing but good stuff about the UK Bikes bits so i guess you have to just go with what you know.

josh_spratty · « **Reply #34 on:** December 30, 2008, 01:04 PM »

i would love to have one no matter whats been said bout them
bit out of a 13year olds price range though and im happy with me new frame anyway

pickle · « **Reply #35 on:** December 30, 2008, 01:05 PM »

so you should be mate! that colony is one top frame and a gorgeous colour as well

DJ · « **Reply #36 on:** December 30, 2008, 05:18 PM »

I don't doubt what anyone's heard but I'll take that Webb, meacher, Mahoney & Remo (complete with bulldog tattoo) have all been riding them for a while now & the only 1 that broke was a prototype that Webb had but, this did involve him literally beating it repeatedly into a brick wall to see if he could actually do it!!
Webb's frame is his own signature model & the other guys all run stock frames....

Agreed, there is always a "wary-ness" about something new or different but I think they're alright....

that meacher bloke does ride his rather well

lol mate, you need big neon lights, MARK WEBB IS RIDING A UKBIKECO END OF, it's the only way

some peeps get the message

DJ · « **Reply #41 on:** December 30, 2008, 10:06 PM »

Honestly Dan... it gets too much sometimes!!

I think the frames are ok IMO... for what THATS worth, if 14 stone remo & meacher (thats not a combined weight...) can send one around the 10ft mark then I reckon they're alright...

yeah at least you got an honest answer, when i asked if he was on Uk cos i saw him on a WTP i got basically called a liar.
yes, Webby was riding a WTP, gold coloured, with some UK stickers on, nowt new there, loads of riders did that back in the day riding a bike they liked with current sponsors stickers on, however now he is riding a UK as I saw him on one at Corby a while back.

PaulM · « **Reply #48 on:** January 01, 2009, 07:15 PM »

Nice ride DJ, when you hitting Corby next we'll ride some vert......

And for the record my frame is not strengthened or different in any way at all, its a regular production model Evoloution, I've not had no problems at all and its taken some shit, so def no weaker than any other frame i've ridden, I love it.

Cheers

Paul

billstup · « **Reply #49 on:** January 01, 2009, 07:49 PM »

Mine rides nice too, and I tend to give my frames a hard time

Bottom line is that if you don`t think it`ll be strong enough then don`t buy one, but don`t constantly slag them off just because you ride something different
