The seat tube on that first frame gives me shivers lol

Nice looking parts though. Those rims look pretty thick.

[WuYang]

even have fork now......

[eastside]

I like the rims and the stock frame. That mod has pain written all over it.

[TTownJon]

I like the megamo-esque dropouts on the mod, but the butt plug is unnecesary.

[TRA]

that ugly ass red paint ruined the whole frame , come on ! surely "dob" can do a better job then that . That mod frame looks ... painful =P
And them boosters look awful, also way too thick ?

But apart from that they probably are some very light and nice bikes .

[Biketrialbrasil]

That red painting it´s weird really...

[aki]

The paint job on the rims & the boosters are awful LOL. I wonder how the frame is holding up.

[dr.gee]

The first frame has the same ass penetrater as the Hydroxx mod.
This companies claim to fame are magnesium frames,,,,but they are not posting any weights.

[Bryan]

edit: under 1400g for stock

The middle brace on the bash guard of the mod doesn't even make contact with the plate. There should be a rubber stopper I know, this looks like it isn't well thought out. That and the anal plug... Ouch.

[mhoulmont]

Just because the rubber bumper isn't there in the photo doesn't mean the frame wasn't well thought out.

[hello?]

Actually it does for a few reasons, first even if there even was a rubber stopper it wouldn't make suitable contact with the bash guard, look at the angle. Second if you were taking promotional shots of a bike, would you leave off a piece like that if you could put it on? Which raises the question of whether they could put it on to begin with. This looks unprofessional and doesn't represent the frame well.

why are the spoke holes so far offset?

[tomacropod]

why not?

:bowrofl: only on a trials forum people would complain about a missing bashguard rubber thingy.

LOOK there isnt even a chain on that frame :o :greddy2:

[Cryo-Cube]

why are the spokes so far offset?
because its better. I always wondered why all trials manufacturers never did it to their rims. It increases lateral stability. All trial rims should have that.

Anyway
I would definitely try a frontrim, or maybe even one of their rear rims (used as a front rim) since even those are lighter than most other frontrims around

:hs: I admit my "online personality" got a little out of hand. I understand midwest has some people lined up to test some of these products. We'll see how they review them.
