Near that big hole? What a surprise.

if you look at the pictures at the beging of the thread you can see the gusset round the seat clamp area this is external and internal this was not on ryans frame....i kinda thought ryans frame would go there but you never know until you test.......just like the head tubes on the wethepeople that flew off the frames.......all part of the testing process mate if you dont push the boundaries things will never develop and he has been on the frame for 4 months and i have to add that frame was totally different internally to the rest the tube daimeters were thinner the butting was less etc etc like i say you never know until you try and if every frame was tested in lab because they were scared of people seeing things go wrong BMX would not be were it is today i knew that was the weakest frame thats why i gave it to Ryan people all over the world have seen the frame and it hasnt stopped distributors all over Europe still wanting them, if they wouldnt buy because a proto frame went wrong i dont think there would even be a market

Evamedia has a valid point though. If it was flawed to the eye, then it's a bloody good bet it'll break there, especially if there's some work hardening going on.

dibly · « **Reply #55 on:** August 07, 2008, 09:55 AM »

superstars have the same kind of clamp i just thought i would try something a little smoother to the eye but hey it didnt work but i only made 1 of them no harm in trying

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #56 on:** August 07, 2008, 09:57 AM »

Indeed. So are all the frames currently being ridden all prototypes?

dibly · « **Reply #57 on:** August 07, 2008, 10:03 AM »

no most are the pre production ones they have been on them for a while now the frame that came 13th at the masters was a pre-production had it x-rayed to look for signs of stress etc...all is well

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #58 on:** August 07, 2008, 10:16 AM »

Props to Dibly - it really takes a lot of balls to start your own bikeco when so many others are already in the game. Hitting the forums like this takes courage - when last did any of the bigger co's actually do this kind of thing? After chatting at MK I've got heaps of respect for this guy and I hope that he finds success with this venture. Keep it niche and keep making stuff you like Darren. Those frames are sweet - I love the little treats in the details. The bars are the lightest I've ever felt and have a great feel to them too. I'd get my boys on 'em if they were just a little older!

Unknown - not for long I reckon.

Dwaine!

I think you have the wrong Dibly!!!

We met Dibly at the Creation Novice Night when he brought some frames to get tested by riders!!

Thats the whole point about testing.

To see if it holds up or not and whether your need to make improvements

You can't blame a prototype for failing. Especially when you trying something new or out of the norm!!!

Only an an

would produce 500 frames from the initial design.

Ford dont do it and neither do any other company.

Design, Test, Redesign, Re-Test, Happy, Product in shops, Job Done!!

Considering some companies spend years testing new products. Dibly's done a great job in such a small time frame.

Well done!

Keep it up Dibly!!

I think I was the only Team Coyote/Tioga rider to never get a bike.

Frame does look the dogs though mate. You've certainly done good.
