i would definitely go for the frame if your a beginner. especially if you are getting a good deal. i had an 04 mad which i loved. it snapped after 8 months but it took some abuse. i think i was doing around 9ft drop offs etc so you shouldnt need to worry about the frame snapping. if you do somehow manage to snap it, send it back to the shop your friend got it from and try and get yourself one on warranty. thats what i did and im now riding a 2006 saracen mad team urban. i paid £100 for the 04 frame about a year ago now and im riding a top of the range 2006 frame! cant really complain with that. excellent service from saracen.
but anyway yeah go for the frame. excellent for learning on (Y) :lol: (N)

oooooooooooh. break my legs. some nasty tactics from you. i'll have to watch myself next time we ride togethor. :) :lol: yeah but you ride well john. you've only just got it aswell so give it time and you'll get used to it. i bet its completely different to your monty.
not sure but go for that bike anyway. they are so nice to ride. i have only played on one for a little while but they feel so nice on the back wheel. i could really throw it about easily. lovely bikes :D
hey. ive got the 2006 saracen mad team urban. rides really nice. nicer than the base in my opinion. its quite a long frame with short chainstays so it is nice on the back wheel. i would recomend it but they are getting pricey now.
my favourite band changes every week though. i'll probably post here later with a diferent band. im also just posting here instead of the other rubbish on currently by those two idiots
