I was cruising the forums over on Singletrack World a little while back and spotted Josh’s post about a 29′er he’d had made by XACD. Not wanting to miss documenting someone else’s experiences I got in touch to find out more. Here’s the post that started it all off: Evening.. I am very very [...] 
Martin's first XACD frame – now running as a fully rigid singlespeed.
Martin recently got in touch with me to let me know about an XACD frame that he had made a little while ago and about his plans to have ‘frame 2.0′ produced. I asked him about what he had [...] 
Olivier’s tip-offs never end, this time he pointed me towards a Picasa album that documented Dominique Charbonnel’s individual frame designs from napkin sketch to reality. I’ve tried to get in touch with the man himself but with no luck yet, so this is more of a slide show than a normal gallery item! From [...] 
Andy contacted me the other month as he’d been exchanging emails with Porter for a little while and just wanted a second opinion on the 29′er frame that he was looking to have built. Sadly I wasn’t a huge amount of help as I’ve not much experience of big wheel frames! Luckily Andy was [...] 
Sunil got in touch recently to let me know about the frame that he had made to complete the Tour D’Afrique, an 11,704 Km expedition tour across Africa, going all the way from Cairo to Cape Town! (You can read all about it on his blog: http://geekonabicycle.co.uk/). He enlisted the services of Mosquito Bikes [...] 
Olivier mentioned to me that he’d seen another chap over on the French forums getting an XACD frame made and put me in touch with him. This is Jean-François’ singlespeeded hardcore hardtail: Jean-François singlespeed hardtail XACD frame. I asked Jean-François what the thinking was behind his frame: I have a Yeti 575 which was [...] 
Olivier got in touch with me from Switzerland a little while back saying he was having a frame made by XACD. He’d been inspired by the number of French companies who also have frames made there (if you’ve done your research you might notice his frame is similar to the HBicycles ‘FlexTi’ model). After [...] 
And number two rolls off the production line: Based on this drawing: 'Love You Long Time'; Oh dear… This time I’d been reading up about the latest hardtail thinking around geometry and tube sizes. It’s got a much more contemporary spec to it which has sorted the handling. Compared to Ti-Bride the [...] |
