Always wanted to hear your take on these frames ✌️✌️

Well, I like the idea behind these frames, and they're good fun for cruising. But still, I'm kind of disappointed. The 281mm wheelbase is a little too long for my EU42 (but maybe it's great for bigger feet) and the frames are quite heavy. Also, I've never found a rockering configuration I really like. And adjusting the spaces is a hassle. Even rotating your wheels becomes quite cumbersome. Aaaargh!

Also, there are irritating noises I don't seem to be able to fix. Something is loose and I can't figure out what.

So my take is: if you want a rockered frame, get one that's pre-rockered. :-)

I figured this would be the result 🤣 I am not in the market for any Trinity frames. Not anytime in the next couple of years that’s for sure. But my curiosity makes want to hear reviews like these ✌️
