Looks very nice, was looking at one myself, is it a lot lighter overall?

I got an onza bird 2010 a while back, there great bikes for a newbie, weight means nothing if your new as the 'weight game' is more when your jumping up huge stuff, eBay as said is a great option all depending on your budget, or the forums sale section is great. My bike is for sale if your interested pm me

Any other good ones other than Tarty 'We dont sotck parts' Bikes.co.uk? Nearly everything I'm after is out of stock unless I get poo brown colours lol

Cheers for the link, and yes used, will strip and have a good scan fir cracks, the seller assures me it's good in that aspect.

From what I hear and read Nitro will strip it but you have to wash with water after, and you can get it halfords for £5 the water bleed no idea mate, I no hs33s can be water but will have to ask someone else mate

Cheers guys, this Nitromors kinda bad for your skin then? is it sold at local DIY? (edit: Halfrods sellit .. how cool is google ) I want to paint it because its now my frame give it my touch sad as it may be its my 'new' frame so want it to look nice.

Ok so i have bought a nice GU 09 frame but its been used and has a LOT of scratches on it, and some ruff areas, so I have been looking on the internet. I have found I need to strip the old paint (obviously) and then if its galvanised... does that mean a silver frame with no 'finish'? but what do you use to strip it? this site says use 'thinners' as I work for a chemical company I can get some seriously strong thinners but will they destroy the metal at all? then the deep scratches..... will they sand out you think? Then I just use metal primer, few coats of desired colour (when I pick) and some sealer. Any tips hints or bits I have missed out and need to no please help

speed the truck video up, would be funny as lol, the little lad likes your models

I'm drawn to the echo, but lynx is nice too will have to wait till x-mas anyways so plenty time to decide

They that good and I need a lighter bike cos .I'im pewny, the Bird is a great bike to get into it but its like lifting a mini everytime I try jump/pedalkick hehe

got a pic? and how much not posted? got day of wed can collect?

what sort of price we talking and yes, good nick? (its a trials bike so dints and scratches are a given)

Ok, so I think its time to get a new frame, I have seen an echo light, short 20" silver frame on e-bay for £200. Its from select bikes - they any good? But my main concern is when I look on Tarty bikes, there only £30 more, (I can choose white, which I like more) but there's a long and a short.... for a newbie this means nothing to me so anyone want to shed some light please. Another little thing is, I have an Onza 2010 Bird which would be striped down and put on the frame, I have maggies so would need clamps and a new tenslise 60 click but would my other onza parts fit all ok? Cheers in Advanced, Mark.
