Blommah Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) So i got 267 quid for my GU frame and fork that i just sold.As said in my last thread i need something streetier, easy to bunnyhop.And now im a bit more specific about what i need, a frame, fork, stem, and a bottom bracket, preferably from tarty, i was thinking about spending 300-350 on the frame at most, and then a good fork, stem and BB for that.The one`s that im looking at is:Adamant A1.Echo ControlEcho pureZoo PitbullCzar.Onza Limey 2Ashton (Where can i get them?)All of them is 07 models.Or maby Czar freetrials, if it`s coming out soon, i dont want to wait until march-april.I want it really streety, going to ride with an Ea70 or Tryall bar depending on the frame.So help me decide, i`m a bit sceptic to high BBs nowadays since i found it insanely hard to bunnyhop from rolling with my GU.Thanks Edited November 7, 2007 by Blommah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 awesome deal!i personally think that's an amazing deal....none of those frames you listed are "easy" to bunnyhop...but any bike with proper riser bars feels streety to me...so...yeah...get that deal!

basher Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) czar and limey have a long reach on them so i should think that will make them hard to bunnyhop at all.I believe danny mac road a control at some pointi think i remember seeing him on one? so that may bunnyhop well and ride like a proper trials bike aswell. May be just give tarty a call and explain but high bb is deffo not bunnyhop friendly at all and they dont ride to good i dont think. also i think long chainstay is good for mauels ect compared to short ones like 375 so may be keep that in mind.edit: that 247 should be really good for trials/streety stuff and a bargain at that price.

David Biddle™ Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Your best bet is the ashton frame if you can get a hold of one There was one for sale on trials forum Also the Czar mite not be to bad .I have seen Ali c's vids of him on his and he seems to chuck it around in a street trials way Or you could wait for the Czar freetrials to come out like you said Biddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 people always overlook the Base TA26 frames. They are AWESOME for street stuff, iolo had one with slick tyres and no brakes, it was sooooo fun! Plus the frames are dirt cheap, so if you didnt like it then it didnt bust the bank.

balfa Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 But i also have middleburn cranks, and ì would like to keep them, what are my other options?Get a bmx hub and a freewheel and keep your cranks. Tensile or Eno perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blommah Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Or could i run FFW with my middleburn cranks? There`s threads in the middle so it looks that way, or is it just for the round metallic thing keeping the bash into place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
