This thread kinda makes me miss my steel frame
nice konas!
i find the Evils a little odd looking....
here are my two:
my old Breath now in the hands of the GF.
and my ever faithful, hacking machine, DB Alpine.... really ****ing love this bike. rode all the FS boys 'platt'* last week in the alps.
* i don't know what 'platt' translates to from german into english, but it's very apt...
I've always loved the look of the Alpine frame, just looks right for a fun do it all bike. Would "platt" translate to something like "giving them a run for their money"?
"platt machen"... literally "make flat".
more "run them into the ground" than "run for their money" in the sense i usd above.
the Alpine is a great frame..... IMO.

racefaceec90 - loving the gloves 🙂 Dominators or something aren't they? 😀 Brings me back to mtbing in the early-mid 90s
Just stripped my full-suss and built this:
Two rear pinch-flats in two rides have yet to convince me that steel is real. Need to adjust the front end to fit too.
This one is my favourite bike. Now features a much nicer saddle. Soon to feature much lighter (and less obnoxious) sensible wheels:

Don't really know how to embed a photo. Just click on the link. My P7.
It's the "grab BB code" bit...

SpongingMachine: they look like ADv folding tyres. I had similar pinch flat trouble until I put an older steel-bead ADv on the rear, and it stopped. What I'm saying is: don't give up on the bike until you've tried other rear tyres.
Prince Albert frame for £55 from the classifieds. All other bits were spare 😀 Enjoying it immensely!
