Trials Boy Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) HI,I'm buying a new frame soon and will have up to £299 depending on what frame. I'm 14, 5 foot 10 and about 10 stone, i'm looking for a rather longish frame. (Stock)What one would be right for me? And what do you think about the wheelbase and BB rise?Thanks in advance for any help,Mat. Edited January 24, 2006 by Trials Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 1060-1080 wheelbase and +10/+20 b/bWaynio.........................PS dont want to start advertising frames for people. but going off that there is a few you could be looking at in the Koxx range, Echo/Zoo range etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waynio Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 use like a 100mm ish stem with low ish rise around 6degrees or 10degrees with a 10mm spacer under the stem, will give it an about right feel, i think thats what my belaey is at. mine has 110mm stem but im probs going to put a 100mm stem on.headset wise use something like a cheap ish sealed cartridge like a cane creek s2 or an FSA XL2Waynio......................

Matthew_Gibson Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I'd get an Echo Control Short. Really nice frame and there cheapish Linkagggge! I have the 2004 model with fattys and the wheel base it ABOUT 1070ish IMO the Echo look better! What about the Adamant A1 or A2? too much bb rise?

Dan Clark Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I wouldn't go for a high BB rise frame at first.Zoo Pitbull, Echo Control or Onza T Rex all look like good bets which are gonna last a long time, just pick which one you prefer the look of.Dan................
