  1. I think someone should make a longneck rounded crown aluminum or
    titanium frame(for trials).... It would be strong and light.

    You guys are probly just thinking a regular longneck frame would be the
    same, but after long rides with alot of SIF the insides of my knees get
    bruised.

    So what do you guys think? and if theres anyone out there who would be
    able to weld soem I would definately buy one😉

    i just finished a freestyle frame (shortneck and has a flat spot to
    put feet) that the only way to hit your knee at the crown is by
    actually getting off and hitting it that way. it is so close to the
    tire. it is cromoly though. it is soo low to the tire. evans may
    have mine beat but not by much

  6. It would weigh next to nothing, and you can find colored duct tape, so
    it will just look horrible rather then really horrible.🙂

  14. lol i agree the xtp is nice, but way to much money. I would be able to
    go with a regular rounded crown frame, but my seatpost is cut too short
    and it wont go high enough so i need a longneck😉---------- plus they
    look cool
