Is Roox A 'Cool' Brand ?

[WD Pro]

Very cool, I used to have a danny stem and have a roox seatpost on my dyna-tech

Let's see a pic of those bar ends you mentioned...

Cheers,

Chaser.

They are on the last page of my ProFlex build - link in sig

not "in the league" with ringle, grafton, ct, bullseye asf.

It's hard not to notice that, unlike most of those, Roox is still going in pretty much its original form ;-)

I love my Roox stems, nicely made with bolts placed out of the way of your knees. I have a couple of seatposts as well.

So if only they'd gone bust, they'd be cool!

I wonder why so many cool brands have gone bust? Why did they lack customers?

Because they made overpriced, fragile parts? Of course, that's why all that stuff is so rare and sought-after today ;-)

IMHO Roox is another Tektro/Zoom brand.

Definitely a cut above those. Not as boutique as the ELS brands. Somewhere in the middle.

Syncros, Ringle - that is Cool

Roox is a representative from an era when everything when, to me, everything went down hill

Roox is post-Cool

Post-Cool, Post-Retro perhaps?

Always thought the stuff looked ok but rightly or wrongly never held it in the same regard as other boutique brands. Did have a roox road stem which was utter crap though, tightened it to specified torques and it marked/damaged the fork steerer quite badly!

They gave away free stickers at Interbike, so they must be cool. Isn't that the litmus test we all use?
