RABUBI Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) been riding my 26er since 2008, not a single crack yet. Only frame of mine that ever cracked was a cervelo..... Edited March 20, 2012 by RABUBI
NotSoBigBen Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I have three of these frames you can ask me Maybe just me but that's just wrong ....... 'KTM' decals on a no name frame? *shakes head*
covie Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Maybe just me but that's just wrong ....... 'KTM' decals on a no name frame? *shakes head* As long as its not punted as a "KTM Carbon" theres nothing wrong with that, its just a brand like any other, basically the same as people sticking redbull or montster stickers on their bikes (not that I would do that ever) but its just a brand like any other.

I have a slightly different opinion but I let it slide

Seeker911 Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 what peevs me off is the minute you mention the word "tri" the price immediately goes up by 200 dollars
BLACKvoodoo Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Maybe just me but that's just wrong ....... 'KTM' decals on a no name frame? *shakes head* Look better than 'blank' don't you think??
NotSoBigBen Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Look better than 'blank' don't you think?? Yip but 'passing' it off as an established bike brand *not cool* - but like I said that's my take on it!
BLACKvoodoo Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Yip but 'passing' it off as an established bike brand *not cool* - but like I said that's my take on it! Yes , Like someone 'passing' themselves off mtb'ers
Palaeodom Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) Why doesn't anyone sell a blank Ibis mojo Sl frame? Thats one thing i'd be tempted by. I brought a non-name brand carbon HT frame which was freshly branded by people starting their own brand here...It felt great until it broke in three places on a fairly chilled bit of the spruit...not very demanding...They did replace it and it was then all good but never felt quite so sure about bailing with carbon under me. From now on its Alu for mountain toys. Edited March 20, 2012 by Palaeodom
Paul Ruinaard Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I see lots of confidence in hardtails etc for the frames from overseas. I am busy with a build of a hardtail 29er myslef so I think I may just go this route. Questions I have wrt the other areas are full suspension frames - does anyone have any idea where you could source one of tose. These guys cant do hardtails alone?

I did quite alot of research myself and could only find alu 29er dual sussers
NotSoBigBen Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Yes , Like someone 'passing' themselves off mtb'ers I gave my opinion, use it or don't. I don't give a rats a$$ either way.
