Gaz96 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 As these frames are dirt cheap on tarty's just now was thinking of building a mod up for a bit of fun and variety... Dont know much about mod geo's so was wandering, is this quite a short frame? Also are theyre half decent frames? and if anyone has any pictures of one built up could you please share them thanks!

Laurence--Trials Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Its the shortest mod available, there should be a topic on page 1 or 2 for the frame that i started. I would have said they're decent.. however im no expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Everyone comments how short my 1000wb mod feels so I can't even begin to comprehend how short this would feel. Don't expect a light build too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbarr Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I think you'd benefit more from looking for a cheap second hand frame. I've seen T-pros and similar go for under 50 quid in decent condition, you just need to keep an eye out. The Revell would probably be okay to a certain extent, but you'd probably get to a point where you couldn't progress much more. Just my view on it.

bella Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 i agree that a diffrent second hand frame would be better as these are very short and not very light. geo wise i like high bb short stays and a long body i am quite tall but my mates like similar geos aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsbeginner Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 noo, go for an onza blade 09 instead it is a bit more but it will be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalRobbo341 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Really don't reccomend it...its just like a bmx but without a seat imo I agree with him ^^^^^^^^^ go for an 09 blade, i did it and i still have it, been 2 years also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have to disagree with the general opinion in this topic. I should say that I have not used the revell mod but I had the stock version and I loved it. It really depends on what style you want to ride and geometry is a preference thing. They are quite old school but nice none the less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 i agree with many here, i would go for the "onza blade 09" or the "monty 219 magura" i would recommend the "onza" over the "monty" frame. but the "revell" frame is dead cheap, BUT the frame is bloody heavy! i can't say anything about the geometry, but the weight speaks for itself! but i guess it's a good starters bike, to do some veriety on... cheers!
