I think that would be a great set up for me... nice and low, light too!!

call me a trend-whore but,
i fooking love these low slung tt dragsters :smitten:
hows it ride?
-
Im with Rob on this one .... but what do we know about whips, Right, 2Bob?
Good on ya for going all out with your frame but I cant help think of when skateboard wheels got so small that a company started making them with only one bearing :crazy2: They looked like they had got one skate wheel bearing and dipped in it rubber.... a real thin dip in rubber!

hennessy eh?
you should call it the V.S.O.P :LolLolLolLol:
-
Although that looks really nice, does the chain stay tubing look very small diameter or is it just the picture ?
-
WOW :shocked:
-
Im with Rob on this one .... but what do we know about whips, Right, 2Bob?
Fair enough! I know a damn sight less than you Alex, that's for sure :D That said, I think I'm gonna add them to my list next year.....
But the thing is, I remember (as you do) bars getting so stupidly narrow so as to help barspins. now we see bikes getting stupidly low to help whips and such. The sad thing being that there really is now virtually no difference between BMX and trials bikes in that respect, as you pic so tellingly shows.
For me also, possibly the best looking whip I've seen is Hoffmans no footer whip on Ride On. And you know that bike had a seatpost a mile long, weighed 40 lbs and probably had that lazy old head angle of the early Condors..... Didn't stop him though :4_17_5:
-
Nice looking bike spoiled only by the seat height/angle.
It might be nice to ride that way, but for photos I reckon you should show it with a bit of post sticking out and the seat angled upwards for that classic BMX stance.
-
why cant i see it :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff:
-
I'm sure its a great bike to ride, I'm sure it has good quality parts, and it looks good...I'd be the first to admit I dont really know what I'm looking at when I look at a lot of new school bikes...
But shallow as it may seem its just too black for me.

yeh maan, thats one stealthy scoot right there,
call me a trend-whore but,
i fooking love these low slung tt dragsters :smitten:
hows it ride?
feels beautiful man, so even and light
-
Rode this last night and it is an experience i can tell you. I'll be watching the progress of these frames with interest :)
-
is it me or are BMX bikes seem to be getting smaller :shocked:
AD
-
I also rode this last night and it is stupidly light... I think I've got some pegs that weigh the same amount.
I was a bit scared to have a proper go as it was too light, but i think that was only because it was my first go. it would be amazing to ride once i got used to it's weight. i tried to bunnyhop it and it practically took off.
i could honestly say you could walk around with it over your shoulder and not tire yourself out carrying it.
-
This frame is going down a treat with all the new school for the reason thats its so low for the whips and such like, but we also do a a more tradtional frame to keep every one happy with a 13.75 rear end and higher seat tube just like your regular frame and that weighs in at 3.7lbs, we knew this frame would not be to everybodys taste but the new schoolers love it, thats why we have brought out the 3.7lb now we have the best of both worlds really, they are all in black as they are just samples for no orther reason but that.

:LolLolLolLol:
-
I've got to admit it does look like a 20" version of a Jump bike
even more reason to like the look of it :smitten:
So far I love it , but again the proof is in the pudding and I'd have to try it in a Park ::)
It would probably be right up my street :)

EXCELLENTE DB :daumenhoch:
-
the bikes rad
the lowness doesnt effect how it rides what so ever
i dont use my seat, and its low and out the way
ir rides like the taller bikes we all know and love
just less baggage
Being Different is good!
-
I think it need a stronger chain. :P
-
that bike is fantastic, I kinda agree with what someone else said, it looks like it's been squashed, but it's a great bike
and Kane really knows how to cane it. :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:
also, I have, on more than one occasion, had a sh1t that weighed more than that bike.
-
Have to say i really liked the look of it in the flesh on saturday night! had a look and feel of the other frames and forks that Dibly has put together and I was super impressed!!! i picked up the forks and didn't even know i had anything in my hand! :shocked:
like Muttley has said, i shall be watching the progress of these and might very well be making a purchase in the not too distant future! :daumenhoch:
-
As a few people who know what new school is about have pm'd me and have said "this is were the current new school ends and the new era begins, this is the evolution of bmx"
-
I had 2 weeks off riding recovering from a few injuries and waiting for my new bike to arrive
Built this up over last week and rode for the first time on Saturday at the rad jam and its by far the best bike ive ever rode..
Granted it took a little time to get use to.. but so does any bike! I rode the Rad session Sat night and London yesterday and i have to say it feels amazing!
im proud to have my name on this frame and im so stoked on being a part of ukbikeco.
-
that bike is amazin. makes me want to start ridin again!
