[Closed] Who should build what (bike frames)?

i'd quite like to see a full carbon Apollo for under £149

been waiting 2 years for brooklyn machine works to build me an xc ish hardtail 😐

Fox Racing should build a carbon 130mm four-bar full suss, with a super-lightweight coil shock, designed around a 150mm super-lightweight coil fork.
Full build should be around 25 lbs.
And I should get one for free.
And it would be called the 22, for no other reason than I like that number.

Ragley to build a 26" TD:1 equivalent.

Cotic (or anyone) to build a light steel hardtail-with-nice-angles womens bike for mrsbunk.

Genesis should build a Full-Susser and a 29er Hardtail

(Apparently, the FS is in the works')

orange a ti 21" P7 for me 🙂

[i]On-one to build a 456 full sus. Mostly carbon. Sub £1000 for frame.[/i]

well, now they own Titus they may well do?

anyone should bulid me a hover bike. back to the future has a lot to answer for.

Brooklyn to build a £999 race link for those of us about to be able to benefit from the ride to work scheme...

I'd kill for a Carbon Knolly Chilcotin

Santa Cruz should build a Blur 4X!

Orange should make a "Mini DH" 224 variant. 180mm travel, single crown fork, can be pedalled a bit. Something not unlike the Transition TR250 or Morewood Kalula. And in apple green.

And while they're at it they could make a Five Carbon, which would sell pretty well I'd imagine.

Santa Cruz should build a Blur 4X!

in carbon, with a 120mm rear for a 140/150mm fork with removable/adjustable iscg mounts, internal routing for a dropper post, taper head tube, 67 degree head angle and a 5lb frame weight, maxle rear, and in that nice green of the blur ltc please

Maybe you should talk to Tom at Demon Frameworks. He's a UK builder turning out exceedingly pretty stuff like this:-

Evil should build a ti sovereign
Magura should start making 29er forks
Nicolai should make a 26" version of the bonkers double top tubed jump bike they have.

Though I am aware that this post might cause some people on here to have some sort of psychotic episode, Cotic should make an alu Soul (or BFe should you prefer).

Cotic to build an XS Soul, please 🙂

Ragley to build a single pivot trail bike (pretty please!)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Carbon 5 🙂

Sanderson - the life/breath but with better thought out cable routing, swopouts, and a little less 'steel' (straighter stays and oversized top tube?) as it's bordering on too flexy.

i want brooklyn to build me one! not demon!
that frame doesn't do a lot for me 😐

Keith Bontrager to start making frames again...

that demon looks like it's been made by someone who normally makes railings and fireguards, stinkin

i want brooklyn to build me one! not demon!

You do know that the original builders arn't making Brooklyns any more don't you. They were taken over and the original frame builders left...

Cube to do a carbon version of the Fritzz.

Dear Foes,

I would like a 120mm travel single pivot around the BB30 bottom bracket, 2:1 shock ratio, 44mm head tube. 142mm syntace rear end, floating brake arm, suitable for 140mm forks.

Any colour so long as its red.

Carbon Blur 4X with alloy Maxle'd rear end, ISCG mounts, post mount brake fitting and tapered head tube. Angles etc, keep the same as the old one. Maybe add another 15mm onto the top tube length so I can run a 50mm stem.

Didn't Hope say something recently about building a bike for £2000 that would be as good as the bikes everyone else sells for £4000.

Be nice if they built it.

And every manufacturer who builds sliding dropout frames should do a Rohloff version.
It's only a bit of CNC machining on a flat plate. It wouldn't be too much trouble for them, but would make the frame more versatile.

Though I am aware that this post might cause some people on here to have some sort of psychotic episode, Cotic should make an alu Soul (or BFe should you prefer).

I would be interested in that. Or a Chameleon but with dropper post cable guides and without the EBB. They should probably taper its head tube or something too, but I'm not so bothered about that.

you do know that is bollocks! please get your facts right!

one of the original partners (doc) left to do his own thing.
the other partner (joe) is still there making bikes and bits for his truck!

joe and family are very good friends of mine...

I'd like to see Cotic build a fat bike with serious fat rims. A British bike for hard British winter 😆

Orange build a carbon bike, you're having a laugh surely - they can't even make welds look nice.

I'd like to see angle-sets come as standard on bikes with adjustable rear geo.

Orange should make a "Mini DH" 224 variant. 180mm travel, single crown fork, can be pedalled a bit. Something not unlike the Transition TR250 or Morewood Kalula. And in apple green.

And while they're at it they could make a Five Carbon, which would sell pretty well I'd imagine.

They have-new patriot.Joe Barnes was on it at Inners.
Maybe not a 'full' carbon 5 just yet 😉

i want a whyte preston 29er please,,

mojo 29er.

Santa Cruz should do a carbon version of the chameleon, but make it stiffer, and a maxle rear drop out, and tapered head tube, and no ebb.

Then all the weekend warriors can buy one and complain it hurts their precious backs when they sit down on descents.

Everyone should build frames with a longer top tube.

Nicolai should make a 26" version of the bonkers double top tubed jump bike they have.

er. We do - the 2MXTB is a 26" frame (and if it wasn't we'd still make you one as a custom job).

Good one, yup.

Actually, everyone making any sort of burly/hard use bike should be giving it cable guides for a dropper post. It totally offends mine eyes that my favourite bike needs a bloody cable tie halfway along the top tube.

yes,for gt to reissue the ball burnished zaskar as a standard model (exactly like the re issue ltd editions that they did) also for gary klein to start making his bikes again (pre trek)but updated for today/must have awesome paint jobs though like he did. 🙂

Fixed.

what about the sticking cables and hoses for gears Jim? lets make the gears wifi and the brakes telepathic

I'd like on-one to make the slotty 26" scandAl in any other colour apart from pink. Anodized silver or red would be fastest :D.

Or indeed a lighter less brutal shorter fork Chameleon would be nice too.
