Watching the vid "Trix are for kids", great mid school vid, Quamens and Graveyard Ti bars everywhere... those were the days
Great VDO as usual, it helps me understand Quamen different generations. I hope you could do some vdo about other brands from Mid School like Dragonfly / DNA, Ares, Otogoki, etc. Thank you.
The second gamma just had an extra support welded on. Keep it from cracking.
I had a cyphr for about a year. Ended up selling it to someone in either NJ or NY. The first gen cyphers were notorious for cracking at the bottom bracket junction. Once they added the gusset, the problem was mostly solved.
Was always in love with quamens
I loved the delta but needed to be longer such a small bike. Loved the gussets and tubing back than too.
Have a frame in the black stardust I was in love with on the delta 2 such a beast of a frame
Bowls v4. See the Reddit for the bowls v3
There is no proof Zenta died after he left the us .And you didn't talk about the cool frame.
I saw the cool but am primarily focused on flatland.
The worst frames I ever owned in my entire riding career were quamens. Just absolute garbage bikes with dumb pointless design decisions that made absolutely zero sense.
I liked the delta because it was unique but never felt like my riding progressed. @tj_perry what company did you prefer?
@@MidSchoolFool at one point I went from a bowls (the gen that REQUIRED you run their proprietary chain tensioners) to a sick child instrumental and that was probably one of my favorite frames ever. I've been riding a mankind code since 2012. I bought 3 spares thinking I'd break them. Replaced the first because it got rusty from my sweat. I still ride them now and still have have three spares because they just don't break. 3.9 lbs too. Cracked a 19" clad in 07 at the head tube. A G1/G2 at the chain stays. The bowls I replaced with the instrumental cracked at the head tube junction as well.
They're really good looking frames and I've seen plenty of unridden pristine bikes that looked great in photos, but that's all they're good for imo.
