English term

slooping

English to German Tech/Engineering Sports / Fitness / Recreation Bikes
Sloop-a-hoop stands for the great slooping of the Orbea RUDE's frame.

More context:
If you are going to try tricks like a "Pinky Squeak” or a “Whip” you want to have clearance between the seat and the handlebar.
In bike geometry this translates into a sort seat tube or, in fancy words:
great slooping.
Why using a fancy word when you can make up an even fancier one?
Sloop-a-hoop!

Sloping

Hier dürfte der so genannte Sloping-Rahmen gemeint sein, d.h. ein Rahmen in der typischen Diamant-Bauweise, bei dem das Oberrohr des Rahmens zum Sattel hin abfällt.
Würde das Wortspiel mit Sloop-a-hoop auch so beibehalten.
