Used Product For 6 Months Strengths weight, strength, short length Weaknesses size(13.4 inches) Similar Products Used dmr sidekick, koxx levelboss Review being a short guy(5ft 5in) the frame suited me better than some of the more longer frames. it is awesome for bunny hops and manuals. street riders should buy one as they are one of the strongest frames ive used! however this is not a frame for natural use as the top tube aint the longest out there and the seat is too high? overall the frame is exellent for street and street riders will like it?

Used Product For 1 Month Strengths alot different to my old bike. much lighter easy to manouver, pretty strong and has a nice feel to it Weaknesses i dnt like the angle of the seat post slot it seems to steep when siting and trying to pedal. could just be to do with my height (6ft 1in). Similar Products Used giant boulder Review I found that this bike was a great buy. I managed to rig my bike up with some halo combats and amoeba headset and avid v-breaks and other bit to help me on my way. If u are going to buy this frame it would be worth rigging it with some descent rims(very important). Bit disapointed with the geometry though. But alltogether a great buy.

Used Product For 1 Month Strengths I find it is strong and quite light Weaknesses nothing yet Review I find that this bike has a different feel to it to but it's good. To me this bike is more of a street bike in the world of trials but is still and really good trials bike.

Used Product For Tested Only Review It's my favourite bike frame and my favourite rider used it. It is a mint frame really strong. Being 5ft 9inch tall, it is a great size for me. All around it's mint and I have to get one.

Used Product For 1 Year Strengths The best thing about this frame is that it is no nonsense tuff as hell kit. Its is also now at a decent price compared to other frame sets Weaknesses The geometry is not all out trials Review The design of this frame dates back a fair few years and it is now lagging behind as a pure trials machine. The chainstays are a little long the seat tube too, it doesn't offer much stand over height and there are no four bolt magura mounts. Having said that I found it to still ride nice and having a short wheele base it is fairly flickable. To its credit it is one of the most tenacious frames I am aware of with outstanding longevity. I personally think it is an awesome looking bike with great mat-black paint and complementary yellow red and blue decalls. Buy it if you like to mix your trials with street.
