Date Reviewed: December 8, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | any set of stairs | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | Atomlab | | Strengths: | This frame is absolutely amazing. It takes a little while to get used to because the chain stays are so short (14.75 in) and then the top tube is extra long to compensate for the stays. To put it into perspective, the chain stays are so short that the seat tube has to be bent to fit the wheel all the way in the slots. There are things on this bike that I was never able to do on my old ones. From doing 360's of off 5 foot drops to just pumping it through a skate park, this bike handles my ever need and is SUPER stiff. | | Weaknesses: | I used to have a trailpimp and the paint used to chip pretty easy. Now, with the trailking there is another coat or 2. For a weakness, that is pretty minimal. It is not how the bike looks but how the rider works the bike. | | Similar Products Used: | Atomlab Trailpimp, Kona Cowan, Kona Scab | | Bike Setup: | Custom White atomlab trailking, custom handbuilt atomlab rear wheel with an atomlab aircorp single speed hub, white spokes and a mint green pimplite rim, mint green aircorp pedals, 2005 Fox 36 RC2 set in 4 inches, atomlab cromoly handlebars, 40 mm black thomson stem, custom hand built front wheel with a pink chris king hub, black spokes and a Mavic 831 rim. Magura Louise FR rear brake (most amazing brake ever) | | Bottom Line: | The atomlab trailking is the most amazing thing I have ever ridden. Being a diehard urban rider, I have in one way or another tested or ridden almost every urban frame out there. I highly recommend it. Even though it may be a little bit expensive, IT IS WORTH IT.
I fully stand behind atomlab and what tey are trying to do with the urban scene. As you can see, I ride a lot of their parts too. Atomlab parts on the atomlab frame defenitely work the best since the frame was designed tof it them but that does not mean that nothing else will work.
Happy riding. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
