    But the bb17 has a nicer sloping tt..... But that seat tube looks like it could be brittle.....

    Opinions?

  • BB17 so looks SO hot!

    But both will be impecible

  • charmer looks waaay nicer imo

  • Charmer is ridiculously nice looking..
    Nice decals, geo and colour coordinations

  • frame number 2 looks slightly better, nice cutout, wank shade of blue though

  • Ye I reckon im gna go for the charmer, but it is more expensive..... anyone wanna order from us to cheapen my postage? :)

  • ooh i might be.
    what shop is it?

  • i will probs order from shopcultur or straight from breakbrake17- they do sell other stuff other than their own if you had something specific in mind :)

  • well i kinda want some yowelli bars and the unknown spline drive spocket..

  • ah ok, well check out shopcultur.com they sell the yowellis there-im sure the unknown sprocket too.

    How soon were u thinking?

  • well when were you going to order?

  • realistically, like the 9th/10th of may? Gotta wait for monies to hit my account :) Sound good to you as well?

  • How much is the charmer? it wont show the price or picture.

  • the charmer is £300 i think, the unknown is £230. I think these are the prices... Shopcultur.com shows the prices though.

  • yeah that should be good...
    damn the charmer is so damn tempting..

  • haha. awesome. U get one i get the other and we do a swap every other week like separated parents? RepPrEsSeD MeMoRiEs.... :)

    Ha. Well we shall see which one I get and ur welcome for a ride if you come pick ur bits up in person if you live in london. Otherwise we can sort out postage. Send me a pm with ur mob no and I will send u a text/ give u a ring when im coming close to making the order and we can discuss money and so on.

  • Haha yeah!

    Yeah im in london so we'll sort something out

  • if you want to go and ride with pegs, as i am sure you will eventually want to, a negative bb is the thing to have and the 14mm dropouts

  • hm i kinda want a bit more of a slope on the tt than u get with the unknown though... but i guess with the neg bb it would feel as short as a posi bb with sloping bb...?

  • i'm no longer up to date with the tricks scene, are both these frames 26" specific?

  • The unknown is supposedly 26/700c compatible and the charmer is 700c

  • i dont know if the unknown is going to be comfortable, its quite a bit smaller than my current 56 cutter, i guess i will find out when they finally arrive, been waiting since december i think

  • is the ESB no longer the "trick-frame-to-have" ? especially with that new version that oscar's riding.

  • If you have a million pounds to waste then yeh I guess ;)

  • well the tig version of the frame is only 350.
