hi, thanks for such a help full coment its really apritiated. I had not thought about the whole geo thing up untill reading that so thanks again really helpfull. Fo some reason the kid I bought the bike from had kept the frame for years (obv because he liked the strengh) but upgraded everything els apart from the rims which I gess could be pretty old. I have just bought a typhoon frame with +60 BB so I gess without realising I kinda did the right thing and if its a tad lighter than the rex frame then I'm quids in. edit: I am also in the fairly long process of upgrading parts but thought I would start with the frame. Thanks again man.

Awsome cheers for the advice. Just out of curiosity would it be lighter than a t rex frame? I mean I know that a small house is lighter just curiouse as same year. Thanks again.

Hi everyone. So recently I transitioned from 20 inch to 26 inch (best thing I've ever done). I managed to pick up an Onza T-rex for an amazing price with a good spec. I know these are old and heavy but I couldnt turn it down. £80 - mint frame - Try-all wheels - Hope Hubs - trial tech bar and stem - hs33's bossters ect ect. not to bad for that money I thought. But Now its been 2 months and I have progressed and I am looking for a lighter frame. I was browsing the net when a "Vario Styx Otacon tf" 26" frame with forks bars and bottem bracket caught my eye. Again its a 2005 frame but for £60 in very good condition and about 30 mins down the road from me. Would this be that much lighter than a 2005 t rex frame or am I better off waiting for somthing better to come along? I really dont have much money to spare hence riding a t rex and looking at buying another old frame.
