Out with a young lad around Brodick on saturday night, he was riding one, and it was really good looking, I'd never heard of them tbh. Nice.

That looks ace in electric blue!
TT looks kinda short at 23" for the larger size though?
Posted 9 months ago # -
Is that not about the same length as a Soul?.
Posted 9 months ago # -
Mine should be coming today
I'll report back when it's fully built
Posted 9 months ago # -
Any reports...?

Should be built next week. I'll report back when she's ready!

Its my mates, mates company, Daniel Stanton. Only just started up this year, they look pretty good I must say.

Had a quick car park spin on one the other day. Just felt right. Decent value too for an 853 frame.

I do like the look for it a lot. Any idea what diameter seat tube and head tube? Can't find it on the web site.
Posted 8 months ago # -
27.2 and normal 1 1/8th at a guess

I like the look of these, any idea on frame weight for the 18"?
Posted 8 months ago # -
Not cheap for full builds are they? Are the frames fabricated here?
Look nice though.Posted 8 months ago # -
Looks nice! Similar geometry to a Soul, fractionally slacker HA/steeper SA/shorter TT & chainstays.

The Slackline is a multipurpose Allmountain Hardcore hardtail frame
So... it's a mountain bike frame then?
Having difficulty in separating it from all the other 'hardcore hardtail all mountain long travel' frames currently on the market?
Posted 8 months ago # -
Yeah tend to look past the marketing speak on the web site. In the market for a steel hardtail and this ticks a lot of the boxes (other than having a stupid seatpost size!)

Nice, looks like they copied the Charge style decals though.
No lanky sizes.

They look good, they dont look like any of the other 'hardcore hardtail all mountain long travel' frames I've seen. They have very short stays and top tubes, so are probably great for riding jumps and larking about on. But if you got the 18" model then you could probably do some longer rides on it aswell.

The 16.5" frame weighs 5.6lbs.
Posted 8 months ago # -
Fech me thats heavy!
Posted 8 months ago # -
5.6lbs? Thats about right I would have thought.
Posted 8 months ago # -
Well, a 16in 853 Inbred is 4lb 9oz, and a 17in 853 Rock Lobster is 4lb 2oz.
I guess/hope it's built for beefyness rather than lightness though?
What's a Cotic BeFe weigh?
Posted 8 months ago # -
the ti version looks dope.
the bb is nice and low...
lovely hardtail - I NEED[i] a hardtail

Quality. Whats a 456 carbon? Scott Scale? Santa Cruz V10?
They're completely different frames!

About the same I think.
Posted 8 months ago # -
So it's like a soul but 25% heavier, won't climb as well due to shorter stays and with graphics from a Charge?
Posted 8 months ago # -
Oh dear, another xc mincer fails to see what this bike is about.

They're completely different frames!
C456 = 1500g. Dunno about the rest.
And I know that, cleverclogs, which is why I qualified my statement afterwards by asking about the weight of a BeFe, which was as near a comparison as I could think of!
But they aren't really all that different are they? All standard, double diamond steel frames built out of 853..... It's only PURPOSE that differs.

Go on then, tell me what's wrong with my FULL statement, it's easy to disagree with PART of a quote.....

It makes sense to me, I posted something similar here

So whats XC if it isn't all mountain?
Posted 8 months ago # -
Ahh yes, sorry. 'Tis true. But some will argue the toss forever!

I dunno, I dunno what you mean. It doesnt look anything like an XC bike or an All mountain bike to me, no matter what they say it is. Looks alrite for jumps, 4x and downhill though.
