Any more white bikes and I am going to go Postal! The Kona's and Norco's have to be the worst I have ever seen. They are taking the "White" fad way too far.

its called hydraformed, most bikes can pull it off though, its not worth the price (im assuming it costs more) some bikes look good with it, and only in one size too

im an old school fan of straight tubing, with nice welds. seing all these new frame and horrible colours makes me sick, the new norcos are the ugliest f*ckin bikes i have ever seen, aswell as the sx trail went from being one of the nicest looking slopestyle framesets to one that i would have concidered a womens sloped frame some 4 years ago. bikes just dont look nice to me anymore, aside from orange, and a couple more companies who have kept it real.
hydroformed tubes also look like shit, and learning in school right now that u can save weight and add strength, althought at the same time causes variable thicknes within the walls that can cause great points of stress and they look like shit.. in other words i love straight tubing, but thats jsut my opinion. aside from that suspension products are great aside from the 15mm axel , definitly going to be a useless and anoying thing. everything they make is going for the bling bling. treks done great, as far as norco, omfg wtf.


anyway no harshness to anyone this is just my judgment on things.
peace out guys.

see i was of the same thimking until i put a hydroformed bike next to regualr tube shaped bike,and regualr tubes look dated in comparison,and the 15mm is gonna be better than 9mm for sure.

imo there is no use for 573957362839586739299273 different hub sizes, 9mm and 20mm is enough

yeah but think about it 15mm should in theory replace 9mm it would make perfect sense.

also lets have a standard for rear wheels also 10mm and 12mm,9mm is dead get rid of it.

well, i get it, but right now i have a 9mm rear hub, now if i snap my frame, i will also need a new hub, usually new spokes too, and so on, and thats money i dont have, so maybe slowly get rid of it, not just right away, unlike the 20mm hub, suddenly they stopped making 9mm dropout forks, now my fork is blown so i need a new hub as well as a new fork
