    and the only one in the bottom 2 pics.

    Why is there so much more clearance?

    Yeah, and it will suck more for freestyle stuff and it may hit your
    knees more often...

  7. I honestly think it doesn't even look much stronger. I mean, sure it has
    that little ring thing added, but the weld still looks about the same
    as the old one and could be ripped off just as easy.

    I could be wrong though...we'll see in the next 6 months or so.

    I think it's dumb they gave it that much more tire clearance. The
    clearance was just fine before...

    The neck travels down into the crown, and its welded to a second layer
    of metal inside the crown. That added with that sleve on the top, i bet
    its pretty strong.

    Why would you expect good freestyle preformance on a trials uni? But
    you are right, it might hit your knees more.

  10. Yeah from the outside it looks exactly the same except for the sleeve
    added, but I looked at a cutview pic and it's definitely stronger.

  11. Looks a lil stronger sure, but how much does it wiegh now? It wasnt
    exactly the lightest to begin with, now it has more welding and more
    clearance, meaning more metal being used....

  12. I agree with everyone else, it was a terrible idea to give it that much
    clearance, why did it even need more to begin with?

    That is a trials uni.

    Well most people that ride street use trials unis and people use
    freestyle stuff for street.

  16. Someone probably told torker "give the frame more clearance!" talking
    about the 24" so it could fit the gazz and they did it to both.

    That looks to me like a 24" frame on a 20" trials. See how the neck
    goes up so much higher? I dunno... Do the brake mounts line up good
    with the rim?
