011001000110010101110010 Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Please type properly. This link maybe handy for you in the future. As for frames have you considered the new echo control? Very strong and not too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbob Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 i dont understand why you have to ask people if you have to buy a new frame? :o do what you want to do not what is the trend :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 (edited) i dont understand why you have to ask people if you have to buy a new frame? :o do what you want to do not what is the trend :P ← Well he wants peoples opinions, theres nothing wrong with that. Maybe he doesn't know of the full range of old school trials frames out there. Maybe he thought if he posted up people would think of frames he had never thought of before. Just maybe. People do tend to go on forums for advice :P Back on topic. GT are either still testing it, or have unleashed their new hans ray signiture frame, which is definatly not long low and silver. I'm riding a alloy Base TA26 which you can get for £169.99, really good frame, as long as you run a proper seat and seatpost. Other wise they tend to crack, like mine, as the seatpost takes some of the stress. A nice steel lesson 26" might do you. A higher price than the Base sitting at £400 but it comes with either IsIs or Taper bb, seatpost and I'm sure someting else which I can't think of. Theres also the good old steel curtis, not exactly the best geometry around but is nice for street, plus they look sexy, at around £500.

Trials Punk Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Sounds like you need to buy a Zoo! Modify the seat area to a seattube. Paint it pink. you may void deng warrenty though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mod_rider Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I've noticed whenever someone posts a topic about what frame they should get, someone always says "It should be your choice, not everyone else's" or something along those lines. Then someone else replies "Maybe he's just asking for people's opinions." It's kind of become a routine thing on these kind of threads. I ride mod, and used to ride a megamo and switched to koxx long version, and it improved my riding a lot, and seems to work for most people, unless they're looking for a street machine. Hope this helped Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
