"new" trials frame

releasing in September, they have a US distributor who only brings in the DJ frame.

I'm heading down to their shopfront tomorrow to have a look at their XC frame, might have a gander at trials frame - can't find any detailed geometry info.

headtube gusset is perhaps a bit much, everything else looks OK though, will need brake booster but what doesn't? - made in Taiwan, only sold through the Paris shop by the looks, no middle man.

looks like a mutant offspring of the woodman and clubroost, Would be a nice jump frame by the looks of it...

what does it ride like? Seems like the only thing you guys care about is how it looks(Not important if it rides awesome).

Theres a whole lot of welds and gusset work on that bike, which is supposed to be a horrible idea from what I've heard and read. Specing the frame with the right diameter tubes is a lot better idea then using skinny ones and throwing gussets and welds at them.

[Peace]

yes yes true, but everyone here knows that you should judge a book by its cover! come on!
Im sure it rides fine, just a bit thrown together as brett suggests...
Peace
