mmm... delta's tt is 18.85" and kgbs shortest is 18.5"
so there is some differense
anyway, how tall is your friend and how tall are you?


i'm about 170cm tall.

18.5 to 18.85 makes big difference?

Im 167cm tall
I think there is some differense (delta has longer tt and head angle differs)
anyway, its up to you

Everyone is build differently. It really depends on how you adapt to the geometry of the frame. I am lucky to try many different frames over the years and now, I chose to ride a kgb because it has the geometry that gives me the challange. The frame doesn't need to make tricks easier to get the bonus edge. It provide a wider possibilities in trick riding. There are many other frames that provide such aspect, but I personaly thinks kgb stretch the possibilities a little further ie. the headtube angle is part of the possibility.... I have not try the Darwin frame yet. I wish to try one but the guy riding one refuse to let people try his bike. He always maintain his bike in showroom condition. People call him veteran poser but I respect him because he support any flatland scene in our country even when he is already 37.

BTW, I received a news during the countdown towards the new year that Alex Jumelin is now with KGB. Anyone knows about it. What happen to his ares deal?


are you ashler? or kimmi?

don't talk like that about peter... hahaha

why KGB doesnt enter top 10 frame in global-flat.com?
darwin is listed on 3rd place.

i like KGB's design more than darwin's that

but KGB is really not so good?


Read you're message again. That has nothing to do with the frame's quality and performance...

if you put your wheel into the dropouts and there is a gap between the the dropouts and the hubs cone nuts, you need spacers...

move the wheel all the way forward(be shure the axle is touching the front of to d/o slot on both sides), the pull the wheel to one side, measure the gap from cone to dropout

divide this number in half

get 2 washers of this thickness (or a group that add up to it)

no more nasty off centered rear ends!

i dont really think frames matter that much whatever you ride it takes a few days to get used to it then thats it . once your used to it its the norm and you take no notice . i really dont believe marrti wouldnt have achieved the amazing links he did in his vid ( go buy now ) if he was still on quamen its just preference . To the guy who said he cudnt do x foot on hes bros jps if it was your frame your parts your setup it really wudnt make any diff . ive just swicthed to jps2.2 from ay and i prefer it but doesnt make u progress like a muvva just makes u think yeh i really dig this and gives u a bit of uumph making you progress . motivation is the key etc

i'm planning to buy a new frame.

and i'm between micro and KGB(or darwin)

i know about micromachine a little
(now i'm on malaga
i think it isnt far from micro)

then i have a question.

the ht angle of KGB is 73.5
but almost all the frames are 74.5~75
one of my friend told me
when he is doing hang 5, his leg hardly reaches to the front peg
because of the 73.5 ht angle( he's on quamen delta. its ht angle is also 73.5)

what do you think about it.

is KGB really good to any trick?

and additional question.
darwin & KGB, which do you think better?



I think the KGb is sick. It is much better han the darwin and it handles better. Let along it looks a lot better, too. The KGB is your best choice
