So the boys at Gear have mentioned that there is a new stock frame by Colossi - Low Pro. I’ve been a fan of the Cinelli Mash but obviously can’t drop that kind of coin for a frame.
Anyhow, don’t have a full parts list in mind but this is what I have lying about:
Thoughts?
My thoughts are that I would have bought one of these frames instead of my Bridgestone had I known they existed/were coming a couple of weeks back!
Did you draw that?
Just sourced image parts on google and then deep-etched them out in Photoshop. Only thing that was drawn from scratch is the background and drop shadows under the wheels.
Haha, fuck deep etching the spokes. Or did you just multiply that onto the background?
Good mockup though.
True that! Not multiplied (thinking now I should have done that for cleaner lines). Just waved my magic wand and used the Refined Edges menu.
That’s rad. I’m showing Erik that first thing tomorrow 
My only comment is to get matching wheels. Will look a shitload more sensible and better in the long run, especially if the build changes.
raise stem with bull horns looks wrong in my eyes.
i like the frame, unconvinced of that fork style though.
left hand drive…
This forum is the Pub. Can we move this to fixed gear or sumtin’?
Do the forks have a massive amount of rake or is the HT super slack? Seems like a very large clearance between the front wheel and DT.
^ what he said.
I’d say you’d be fine with a -6º stem with pursuit bars. If you can’t handle the drop get some bullhorns with a flat top - ie RB018 or RB001 (the latter is the nicest shape for bullhorns IMHO). I’d only be runing a positive stem with pista bars personally.
EDIT: And as Spirito says… pub?
I think the wheels are a little small in the image which would emphasize this.
really? Bridgestone is much nicer… Steal is real remember?
How much are these? Look a bit like the Low which are USD900. 7005 alu which means something I don’t understand.
That Colossi is 6061 which also means nothing to me
Yeah, got lazy and just wanted to finish up.
7000 grade Alu is harder/stiffer than 6000 grade Alu. It means that they can make the same tubing in a thinner gauge and provide the same stiffeness (with less weight). But because it is not as ductile it more prone to cracking/breaking if submitted to excessive force.
Horses for courses. Would love a super stiff 7005 track frame (for the track) but I’m with aeroBloke on the steel as the choice for a street bike.
Good tip on the bars and wheels. Just used these here cause I’ve got them unused at the moment.
I was wondering about the rake out too. Wasn’t too sure what was going on, so I just overlaid another bike for reference. I’m sure Erik might be able to give more info on the proper measurements.
Yep, let’s move this into fixed section. Wasn’t too sure if it was a worthy post to begin with.
“Rotate Image” > “Flip Horisontal” ?!
