omgnoseat Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Hello, The topic should be clear. I'm looking for the 2007 & 2008 deng frames. With deng going lightweight, the options on strong frames is decreasing Anyone know's any shops that still deal them?All shops are welcome, I don't mind international shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt jumper jake Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Look on trialprod.com mate, i ver very nearly bought a 08 typhoon off there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 You do realise that the lightweight Deng frames are actually stronger than the 07/08 frames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Word. The '09 Piranha's a pretty sweet frame, 'specially for the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) You do realise that the lightweight Deng frames are actually stronger than the 07/08 frames? At least for the 08 Typhoon this is true! The others were pretty hefty to be fair like the 07 Team, Control, and Adamants. But yeah, I second Mark's comment the current Piranha (and Lynx) are pretty sweet! Their track records are pretty damn good considering how light/well-priced they are. I've only heard of NT to break one so far, whereas you'll find almost every 05/06 'almighty' Python with cracked brake mounts or near the booster piece. Edit: If you're deadset on having an older frame which is understandable you have: www.trialprod.com and www.trialmarkt.de (I think that's right?) based in France and Germany respectively.

Endohopper Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 ... www.trialmarkt.de ... Superb service and rapid delivery ( to Holland anyway . ) Are you ever near Den Haag / Scheveningen ? Would be great to ride with you again .

tmusson Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Look on trialprod.com mate, i ver very nearly bought a 08 typhoon off there I allways wanted one of those frames. They dont seem to be on there anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC12345678910 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) I'm going to put my two cents in by saying this: My 07 team took approx. 2 and a half years to crack and my equally skilled mate's lynx took on and off (he swapped to a maladeath for 6 months inbetween) took approx. 14 months to crack. For people such as myself who want longevity over low weight this is what matters. Given that the price was right, I would buy another 07 in a heartbeat. IMO they were built properly. End of.

Sponge Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 This Team right?: My first impressions seeing that frame was: "Wow, what a tank of a mod." IMO, the smartest and best representation of what the Team model is. I didn't think I ever heard of one to crack that year, same goes for the Controls of that year too. Some European sites and one or two like biketrialstation.com still carry a few old frames left as unwanted stock. 08 GUs incl. the Typhoons are still readily available, last resort is to import one from a certified online dealer in China (of which there are a few if you look at TaoBao). I think Trialprod still has an 07 Typhoon mod too. Trialmarkt still has some 07 Czars in both wheel sizes.. same goes for the 07 Python/Pitbull which is still up on Trialmarkt.de Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC12345678910 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 That's the one, but mine wasn't a standard spec, (It changed several times). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 still riding an 06 control. nearly 5 years on and its still unkillable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgnoseat Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Thanks for the link to trialprod. I find it incredible that they still ask 290 euro for a 4 year old frame though. Superb service and rapid delivery ( to Holland anyway . ) Are you ever near Den Haag / Scheveningen ? Would be great to ride with you again . I've ordered some stuff from them in the past, they are pretty ok I'm not often near Den haag, but am prepared to come for a ride! I'm trying to visit a different city every friday since this is my last year with free public transport My front brake exploded this friday so I might be out for a while. Hope I can get it fixed and meet up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
