Well it looks like the rumours are true behind Subrosa doing a twin toptube frame...it looks pretty good from this angle IMO...perhaps Haro could learn a thing or two about re-creating a classic?

Yep, one of the advantages according to Subrosa! LOL

No other pics sadly. Will do some digging...

There is a pic of it on the back cover of the latest (?) Ride. Its someone doing a lookdown over a set of doubles. You cant see the double toptube much, all you can see is that the seat stays come next to the seat tube. Its quite cool that they aint even making a thing about it in that add, its just someone riding one.

What about if you cut the seat tube right down. Then you could put 2 handlebar pads on the twin tubes inseat of a seat. It would be like a pair of Skyway EZ bars with 2 bar pads on!
Old school and New school ... United!

What are the avantages/disadvantages to a twin TT as opposed to a single TT?

I suppose standing on your TT is easier and it looks cool but are there any engineering reasons to it i.e Strength, rigidity etc, etc?

oldschool rider · « **Reply #15 on:** April 14, 2009, 03:23 PM »

Del prepare a shit load of Freestyler/Master stickers dude

Don't know if it's got advantages/Disadavantages except framestands are easier

The fact that (almost) every Haro broke at the double top tube / seat tube plate gives you a good idea on that one

This frame looks like that joint is LOADS better than the old Haro double top tubes tho

is it actually going to be produced Dave? or is it just a prototype thing that's on their web site? can't see to many youngsters buying it??

SaMAlex · « **Reply #20 on:** April 14, 2009, 03:56 PM »

Didnt they do that Bully bashguard frame as well?
Its cool that they seem to be making frames that THEY want to, rather than what might sell loads.

pickle · « **Reply #21 on:** April 14, 2009, 03:57 PM »

they do a bolt on bashgaurd don't they?

i like it i have to admit (the twin tube thing that is not the bash gaurd)

Stodgy · « **Reply #22 on:** April 14, 2009, 04:00 PM »

It's Fly that have the bashguard...and yep apparently Subrosa are going to build the Twin Toptube.

Gotta say, I'm not sure whether it will go ahead - I suppose it all depends on the testing - wether it breaks or not.

Who knows, but I suspect it would be popular with the old schoolers and kids who want somethine a little different.

Good on 'em for doing something different though.

JT71 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 14, 2009, 04:04 PM »

Subrosa were doing a frame with bashguard built in, but can't find the pic now.

that twin top tube looks cool as fokk. I like it,

SaMAlex · « **Reply #24 on:** April 14, 2009, 04:17 PM »

See, JT71 does know his stuff!

It wasnt a bolt on bashguard, it was a total replica of the bully design but smaller for a small chainring. The decals even had the rose and skul like the bully had.
