 Posted: Wed 14th May 1:22pm Post subject: New Frame Time!!!! Ideas Please!!! |
  |
|
Hey People.
It's time for a new street/park frame.
I'm looking to pick up something strong, yet light (without sacraficing the abusability)
So far after a bit of research have come up with a couple of options.
Criteria, aside what I've already outlined, Are a 20.5-21" top, sub 14" rear and must have a seatstay 990 mount. 74.5 head angle. Also a conventional seatpost (I run the saddle a little higher than sacked out)
I was thinking something like:
Sunday Wave
Stolen Heater
Stolen Etrain
Kink Farside
Metal rebel contender
It would be cool if anyone has any good ideas, suggestions or info which could come in handy to let me know. Please try and keep the grom opinionated politics to a minimum though 
Thanks.

I read some negative stuff on the rebel contender but it looks to be a sweet frame and probably the same price as the Schwartz. Is it the frame that Metal recommends to be run without pegs?

Well, trails before rails, as they say. Go with the Metal it looks awesome in raw.

fair call. will do some further research and see whether its worth just a frame or if the cost of replacing half the other stuff will mean complete could be the way to go. key parts which are tihs on built bikes i already have so no weak bits from the word go.....

I did my ordering from the U.S in chunks, so $400 at a time, thus avoiding any harsh taxation. But yeah there are some nice completes out there, pretty hassle free option.. until they break :P
