It's only a cosmetic thing, I understand it's function over form

And shiiiiiiiiitttttt....... that IS a short rear end!!!!!

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

i just cant ride with slammed seats... i often slip me pedals!! $:-\$

all in all, Nice bike!!

( I'd through some Khe's on like... but thats just my own preference!! )

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

They looked like they had got one skate wheel bearing and dipped in it rubber.... a real thin dip in rubber!

Although that looks really nice, does the chain stay tubing look very small diameter or is it just the picture ?

Fair enough! I know a damn sight less than you Alex, that's for sure

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

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.

kev-s · « **Reply #22 on:** May 11, 2008, 05:10 AM »

why cant i see it

Broggie · « **Reply #23 on:** May 11, 2008, 07:58 AM »

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.
