lol, nice looking frame, but if you must ride it within the 1st year, then its only of use to people who have got all the parts to go onto it or are willing to shells out a couple of grand building it up... meh!

flag srh2 (Jun 5, 2009 at 6:08)
I agree with ctd07.
Win the frame and then dish out a wad of your own money to build it up to honour the contract. Not that great if you ask me. If you won the frame and were able to do whatever you wanted with it (like a real prize should be) That would be different. You could sell it, build it up slowly, hang it on your wall etc...

Ya man, some competition... Here have a free frame but you *must* ride it for a year (even to the shops?). Will Knolly give you money for DH parts, or would they prefer their frame to be fitted to cheapo components and a rigid front fork? Not the best advertising IMO.

flag liveless (Jun 5, 2009 at 4:14)
They basically mean you should not take advantage of it and sell it soon after getting it.

flag cyberhawk (Jun 5, 2009 at 4:28)
yeah i know.. but i could build this one up full light race DH and re-think my demo's build up Razz although its nice enough if you check my album.. Wink
but this frames a little lighter than my demo.. with a SC fork, spinergy's, and some other nice parts you could make this bike fly Big Grin
maybe i'll give the form another try..

btw i support the 1 year "riding" term... if you are not comfortable with the term just dont enter in the competition.If you just want to sell it right away you should go and play the lottery this is not ment for you.
