BaGearA Posted June 18, 2019 Share I liked their Rallon. This one however, the middle is a visual mess IMO. It's like the took that assymetric member that linked the seattube pivot and the top tube, and rotated the latter point to connect with the downtube instead. Probably means they can fit bigger shocks, but that crossbar. eww. and then they painted it in a color that's hard to ignore. ai ai.The cross section makes it so pretty to me, symmetry is sooo mainstream Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane_Bosch Posted June 18, 2019 Share Cool story broI'm also going to Switzerland. But they have a law against poor people so my visa says I must be out of the country by sundown. Edited June 18, 2019 by Duane_Bosch Meezo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted June 21, 2019 Share If I may quote Deadpool: "good think I am wearing my white pants today"I like how the cable is thread through the steerer tube. Makes me think I can mcgyver a similar setup with just about any brakes. Formulas will be more likely though as they have those speedlock goodies.

Formulas will be more likely though as they have those speedlock goodies.O have rigged up some XT/Magura bastard brakes like this on my 'trick' bike... a double wrap on the rear brake line and the front brake through the stem cap and steerer tube so that when someone who can actually ride gets on my bike they can do bar spins...... #guymcnoskill Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Eddy Gordo, CdT85 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formulas will be more likely though as they have those speedlock goodies. we used to run our front brake cables through the top cap and down the steerer tube . Leaves an ugly loop, but affords you the option for bar spins etc. much more elegant on this bike though. The holes in the handlebar for the hoses just freak me out a bit. look like failure points waiting to happen Edited June 21, 2019 by Otero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
