i really like these frames but imo there a bit over priced im looking for a full suss frame for around a 1000 i looked at these but there way out my bugdet

really nice bike though go and get in dirty

Dobbs

Overpriced?
Knolly is not a budget brand, the endo is regarded as competition to the intense tracers, turner 5 spots, santa cruz blurs etc. You won't get one of those for £1000 either. For £1000, you're best off looking in the classifieds IMO. That will get you a lot of frame in very good condition.

Wicked bike, this frame is on my 'possibilities list' for my full susser frame next summer.

What travel are those forks? Think I want Fox forks as well.

Also +1 for Archs on Pro2, that's what I have at the moment, amazingly stiff compared to my old wheels and will take pretty much anything except hardcore freeride and downhill. Not sure about white rims though, might look a bit too much against the dark frame.

Hi Rich, Thanks for the comments. The forks are 2011 Fox Float 36s. I've put the spacer in to make them 150mm travel rather than 160mm. I might be able to help you with a discount on a new frame as I'm friendly with the importer.
Think the white rims might be a bit much? I wish I could use photoshop to find out!

Pretty nice, bit of a funky shock linkage! Needs a bit colour though I think, jsut a few subtle anodised bits. Or I think white rims would make a lot of difference. I might do a quick photoshop job on it later if i can be arsed!

for around a grand you can get some really good frames
santa cruz transition devinic orange and imo they do they same job just as good as the more expensive turners intense and the more expensice santa cruzi guess there are two markets for frame the ones around a grand and the ones for people who dont really have a bugdet

White rims would be lovely.

Cheers, I'll save this thread in my favourites. At the moment I'm looking at either a Endorphin, or a Ibis Mojo, I'm sure other bikes will catch my fancy in the mean time, but at the mo I do like the Endorphin.

On a second look, I think I might agree with you. Already have white forks, bars and pedals and they look good.

Either a photoshop job, or stick masking tape on the rims, stand back and squint.

There you go, its hard to do nice curves so I made it smaller, so my 'shopping looks less bad White rims will look sweet.

transition devinic orange

They're all a good bit over a grand (£1300-1700), I do agree that they're all good bikes but they're in the same price range as the Knolly. the SC hecklers are as good a deal as you could get at this time IMO.
The l33ter, thanks ever so much for taking the time to do that, I think you've just convinced me. Think the mrs will notice?

thel33ter

No problem, The Mrs won't notice if you get the wheels delivered to your office and change them there

coxy17

i was hoping if i got a frame the lbs would knock some off seeing how much we have brough from there

have a look at these for some white rims

Thanks coxy,
I think I'll just get some new wheels! It would cost me more to upgrade the rims!
I'll post some more pics when its finished. If its ever finished

Bikes are never finished, there's always that new shiny bit that you absolutely need or you may as well give up cycling and take up checkers

Dobbs

Ain't that the truth. dot1s comments about colour has already got me thinking about splashes of orange! It never stops.

Dobbs

All finished! Went for a splash of gold.

thel33ter

Wow, that cushion is awesome 8)

The bike's alright too

Dobbs

Thanks mate. I wish I had a say in the soft furnishings in the house; there wouldn't be any!
Unfortunately I don't so I gets what I gets.
