Hoke's L96

Yup PHM9!

Which is a good thing...

Has this been resolved yet?

For the record, not everyone has had a great experience with df4's. I've heard a few moans about them at the track - though Dolan seem to have (mostly) made good any problems.

Still on going @TM, I've emailed the pictures to them and they seems happy initially, but because I want to refund the whole bike back they require a picture of the whole bike so will be doing that this weekend and we'll go from there.

You've got to prove the rest of the bike is still attached to the crack.

Where is the rest of the bike though? Long gone no?

The decals on the anchors are woeful. BMC or Kalavinka(Shame the sizing isn't big tho)

Lot's of different paint options @konastab01

I think because I want a full refund they want all their parts back, so hence why they want to see if they can get the salvage anything.

@TM still got everything aside from the stem which I sold to a mate, but everything is still in brand new condition

I do actually like it in red

This is for sale on Manchester fixed gear page...

Planet X with a different paint job.

Not enough swag.

I was just looking at those TM - particularly the Argon 18...

It's the same as the alibaba/eBay China carbon frames with a different paint job.

I'm with +Fox on this... chest out and give them a piece of your mind!

Is it? It looks similar to the FM-R019 but it's certainly different.

edit:

This article states:

Little known fact: Diamondback controls their fibers from yarn to molding, doing their own resin impregnation to form sheets of prepreg. Most brands buy prepreg that’s already made.

That might be true of their road frames, but don't you think there is a striking similarity between the Vails track frame and this?

I have to agree it looks similar, especially the rear end. Can't fault them for producing in China or Taiwan though.

Just saw the Canyon, that was a pretty big crack.

"..."

Expect a schick pun about a canyon sized crack on the frame.

That would be grand...
