pre production Ukbikeco Revolution.........now 3.4lb
« on: August 04, 2008, 10:17 PM »
here are a few shots of my pre production frame this will be what the finshed ones look like but the welds will be polished smooth, i have changed the drop outs loads  (peg friendly) a gusset round the seat clamp area (and internal) the brake tabs are removable but also flush, and different cable mounts (mtb ones infact) and a bit of shaping around the bottom bracket.

My initial reaction is that it looks like shit, but in the spirit of keeping an open mind, how is it that you can make a frame more than a pound lighter than Fly, Fit, Sunday etc without massively sacrificing strength?

I am not asking for industry secrets to be revealed but there must be a way to explain it in layman's terms.

Username I have heard rumours the tubes are full of helium, one of the brake lugs is actually a schrader valve and can be topped up at your local balloon shop . If you need to know anymore lightweight secrets PM dark diggler he knows everything  :)

Looks OK and could be awesome if it actually is still as strong as the other frames on the market.  The only issue I can see is that the stickers haven't been cut particularly well and so, as you can see on the close ups, areas which are just clear plastic bubble and look unslightly.  Easily resolved and just makes the frame look that little bit better IMO

I think they`re really nice, and a British Company too  :daumenhoch:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Well done Dibly!

I hope it becomes a huge success.

That way you can hire some goons to do all the day to day mundune work and you can get back on ya bike and do some OS Racing!!!  :daumenhoch:

As for strength of the frames etc, etc.   Whether your the biggest or the smallest company you always have to test your product.

Dibly has done that and is addressing any concerns that showed up when the product was first being tested when the prototypes were made.

The Lifetime warranty speaks for itself.

In such a small space of time, you've done a great job.   Keep it up!!  :daumenhoch:

Great to see you at MK Darren - you're a top fella with enough balls to get out there and make it happen where others just talk. Big respect dude.

Can't wait to see the production 'Evolution' frame, a more traditional higher top tube will probably be more up the radbmx markets street.

Fine products - I can't wait to get mine buddy.

Take care and stay rad.
