lush paint job looks mint

addict replied... on 28 January 2010

cheers mate, just found a place nearby that'll powdercoat for 35 quid, so the back end will prolly end up white at some point, leaving the front quarter that bluey/green colour. proper custom job woop!

love the these frames. did you buy the bike whole or did you build it yourself?

addict replied... on 23 June 2010

true, but this frame wont fit a coil, the split in the seat tube isnt big enough to accomodate a spring. it does suck, but its been upgraded to a dhx5 air now, and have to say the ability to 'pump up/let down' the air shcok is actually a pretty sick advantage - I can set this up almost like a hardatil for jumping/epics or slack as a bag o balls for the rough stuff.

huwston replied... on 8 January 2010

not sure bout the roco air tho, a coil would look better hehe, had a bad experience with air shocks, too much to go wrong and spensive to repair or replace.

addict replied... on 21 December 2009

no i bought it whole fella, but I'm slowly speccing it upto how i want it. the frame is great, I can properly rip this for longer all day trails as well as it taking a fair bit of hucking.

loving it!! can u use it fro freeride/downhill cuse i tht it was more all mountain and i didnt want to buy one incase it broke??

salarsatti123 replied... on 15 December 2009

thanks bro, i myt buy one in the future, can u tell me how much it weighs, mine weighs bout 22kg now :P so lookin 4 sumfing lighter ;)

addict replied... on 14 October 2009

oh yeah its fine for downhill/fr. like I said above, I use it for hammering wharncliffe, stainburn and storthes hall, and its taken some abuse at cwmcarn and hamsterley downhill. At the end of the day its a 6&6 so its not guna handle like a full on downhill rig, but if you like rough trails and some airtime then its awesome.the spec isnt super blingy, but what do you expect for less than a grand? upgrades the spec and your away. Mongoose launched it at the mega-avalanche in 08, so it can take some abuse too.

sick bike!! what size is that? i'm thinking of getting one... how do they ride for dh/fr?

addict replied... on 29 April 2009

cheers bro! this is a small which is 16.5 inch frame. I'm 5'9" and it's pretty much bang on for me. It rides really well, is really chuckable and can take the ruff stuff very nicely. The forks are basic but suck up the big stuff nicely. the back end when set up properly ( I run 110 psi at 12 stone)is amazing,so much traction. With a few cheeky upgrades I've turned it into a real flyer,( bigger tyres, lower bars, better pedals etc) a few more select cuts ( fox 36 forks, new BB and bash/chainguide) I'm all set.

I ride wharncliff and stainburn as my locals and it hammered cwmcarn uplift a couple of weeks ago so yes it can handle the ruff stuff ;)
