New Prototype: KHE TO(Y) by Bram Verhallen

[marsan_flatland]

kind of ugly

but probably ride very good for some trick

goood work
the day i will have my own frame i will critisism but for the moment all i can say is props

[trevoro]

regarding the post about it looking unfinished:

bram, you should have the two tubes going into one mitered in such a way that is reminiscent of the older bikes that were formed with lugs. if you don't know what i mean, check out an old "ten speed." in holland, maybe they're just known as racing bikes, who knows.

[bram]

yo..

its nearly impossible to let the 2 tubes flow in 1..
i have got an idea but its wayyy harder to produce..
and im not goin to tell how to anyways heheh..

It is possible to do that.. but the frame will cost alot more..
so you tell me..... I personlly dont mind about the price you know
but i do mind about the price for you guys..
would be a little damn selfish to say like.. f*ck it i dont have to pay anyways..

rather a regular priced frame with a normal welded intersection..
than and expensive frame wich a super smooth intersection..
plus that the quality wont be any better ( if this is goin to hold up hehehheh )
just the closer looks..

ANY feedback is more than welcome..
just tell me what u like and ill keep it in mind u know..

hey bram, which colours has the new frame? and i think the frame is ok, but nothing for me because i have the rip and its da sh*t^^

[bram]

hehe thanx..

dont know yet man.. the protos came in that ugly green i got.. in raw and
in zinc...
so i will paint it often to see what turns out the best..
it sure makes a big difference for the looks of that intersection..
i bet you wont see it that clearly if its in black..
but we will see..

[trevoro]

i suggest you make one that is larger than 19"..how does 19.2" sound?

great. thanks, bram. you're such a nice guy.

[bram]

hmmmm
i know serveral are waiting for a "longer" frame to come out..
but i guess thats something that wont come from me..
im pretty small u know.. 168 cm.. dunno in feet/inch/whatever
so i just cant ride a 19.2 frame..
im sorry.. but would be a bit silly to do a frame i cant ride myself heheh..

[jac_216]

how'd they come up with the name TO(Y)? if the RIP was successful, why not release a few more?

Because Brams name sold that frame, not the design. The design wasn't anything different from a number of other frames with similar specs.

The R.I.P was a fairly unique frame & I wouldn't say it was just Bram's name that sold it,I would've bought it for the design not his name as I'm not an absolute fanatic about his riding...

His new design just is plain yuck!!

So why don't bring it out in 2 or 3 different tt lenght?

So why don't bring it out in 2 or 3 different tt lenght?

Cost is often an issue.

Saying "I want 100 frames all the same please" is much cheaper than "I want 100 frames, 25 green with an 18.5" TT, 25 red with an 18.5" TT, 10 black with an 18.5" TT,  10 yellow frames with an 19" TT  and 30 raw frames with a 19.2" TT".

You know? It adds up and in the end the riders have to pay for it.

Besides that, its Brams new signature frame, it technically wouldnt be his frame if it was 19.2" TT.

[bram]

yep.. in a batch of 100 frames you really cant have different tt lenghts..
so im sorry..

check out sytse's bike..
looks sooo much better than mines hehe..
the colour really does make a difference as u can see..

[Kev]
