  4. I saw alot of those at UNICON when they started going on sale. They
    look real nice, one bad thing is the crown. But its nice, strong and
    light. Great for trials.

  5. Whoa.. thats a lot of cash 650 euro is about $837 , I thought the Kris
    holm trials were expensive at $500. Are they that much better than the
    Kris Holm trials? and I agree with swarbrim the crown doesn't look that
    good.

  6. it looks awesome for people who do pure trials because they don't put
    theyre foot on the crown. is it lighter than the KH frame?

    that's really expensive for a frame...

  7. no it is heavier than the Kris Holm frame which weighs 586g compared to
    the 610g the Koxx frame weighs.

    see http://www.krisholm.com/specs/index.htm for Kris holm weights

  9. Its a nice frame but the KH frame is lighter, and cheaper.

    The question is is- this frame stronger,and worth the extra bit of
    weight and money. I know the prototype of this frame snapped, but i
    guess that's why they call it a prototype.

  10. yea, but also, KH frames are plenty strong enough, I think only 2 peole
    have broken them:eek:

    I wonder if you could do standup WW with this frame if you put griptape
    on it. then there wouldn't be any disadvantages other than price.

    also, I was thinking, why doesn't KH or Koxx or someone design a nice,
    strong, lightweight trials frame with a long neck? I can't think f any
    disadvantages to it...

    Yes KH frames are strongbut they have been broken more than twice. Ryan
    broke his Trials KH frame and the SB Muni club has broken a couple on
    their rides.

    Who is saying that the XTP frame is stronger than the KH frame?
    The XTP frame is just on sale so you can't judge it now.

    I didnt say that the XTP was stronger...Im saying that the KH frame is
    not as indestructable as some may think.

  19. this is kinda off-topic, but on the subject of light frames, would it be
    possible (or feasible) to make a carbon fiber unicycle frame? it would
    sure be lighter...but could it be strong enough?
