FRAME:
A great frame in my opinion, to start riding on, is a Saracen X-cess 2001...the old style frame.
its quite short, and with short forks (fattys) the BB has dropped a bit, but when compared to some bikes it feels agile and light.
for example:
My brother got ripped off on a 'DaBomb XLR8R' which he was sold as a trials bike (that shop is so s***, Wheelbase, Stavely :unsure: ), while I spent £15 on a 2nd hand X-cess frame and mine felt 100% better than his. His was heavy and sluggish.
