GTF Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I belive that the t-rex should be good, if you dont want very much out of your bike.Save up some money and get tartybikes to build you a bike.The short echo control is good. You can ask people here about the other parts you need My advide: Save for a better bike than the t-rex if you want a bike that can handle more punishment.

T-rex's are built like tanks It rides nicely and is a rip off of the very good coustellier design, has a thick as shit downtube and WILL be much more suited to UCI style riding than you giant is. However the deciding factor would be what kind of spec is your giant currently at? I pretty much guarantee that once you get used to the t-rex you wont be riding the giant as much so maybe it'd be a better idea to just buy a frame and put the components from the giant onto your new frame.

bowman12 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 well the giant is at a pretty basic spec. the only decent stuff on it is the rear whell, brakes, single speed and seat. haha! the echo pure looks alright. what do you think of that?

Shaun H Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 T-Rex spec 2 is an excellent choice.I love my 'rex, only thing is it's a total tank and as such, weighs as much as one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionicman Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 if your looking for a whole bike get the t-rex,but if you just want the frame get this biketrialstationthis is a copy of it but it costs £180 including postageits a 1085 wheelbaseand an intergrated headset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 http://www.biketrialstation.com/index.htmlTheres actually some pretty decent parts on there, like echo boosters rebadged as "nox" and anodised every colour under the moon. The viper frame looks quite nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
