where do you people come from?

every single time a new frame comes out there's at least one poster who makes a comment about flex or strength, without trying the frame or even seeing it in person. i'm not dissing you personally but flex has absolutely nothing to do with looks. ps. the rear stays are cro-mo, not aluminium.

vivre la balfa!

Suspected this might be "old" news but what the hell. I haven`t seen this before.

Always thought highly of Balfa and this frame does nothing to lower my esteem of them. 1600£ with a Swinger... Better start saving.

single pivots.................um pass

I like it, floater would be a nice idea

 

[gregz12]

I took it for a quick spin at the local DH hill. It's very plush and really sags into the corners. This lowers the CoG making it rail turns. It's definately a fun bike. I only used it on a beginer run and wasn't heavy on the brakes so I can't comment on brake jack.

even better, i would still ride it everywhere

Responding "Looks Flexy" has been a long-running joke on this board for the exact reasons you describe. I'm pretty sure he's kidding.

[finchy]

nice but overpriced in my opinion

i was gunna pick up a balfa 2 step but decided to go with a brodie demon... much better design

 

[snaky69]

Yeah, I almost bought my rims from there but there we none left. I live at about a 30 minute ride/15 minutes in car.
