Right i have up to around about £500ish to spend on my bike but I’m sort of lost for which direction in which to go……
I have a 2010 Carrera Fury but the only things original on it are the frame and forks (Suntour epicon LOD air 120mm) everything else has been changed out, nice bars, M8000 drive train, Stans rims with hope hubs & M785 brakes all of which I’m very happy with apart from the frame. You see at the time of buying the bike it was the first bike id bought for about 23 years and liked the spec, how it was finished and the reviews were all good but it was only available at the time in 18″ or 20″ when I should really have got a 16″ frame for my short arse stature.
So what I’m after (i think) is some advice on what to get frame wise, I quite fancy one of the new 26″ BFe frames from Cotic but there’s also the we nagging doubt at the back of my head saying I should get a 650b frame that’s happy with a 26″ so that in the future if I fancy it I could always pick up some wheels and a fork when funds allow. If i’m going down the moon on a stick route if there was the above that had silly enough clearance for 650b+ tyres then that would open up even more choice for later but I cant see that being possible.
Quite fancy a Bird Zero TR and then there’s a PP OKA which looks nice, I could go on but whats the thoughts on a replacement framethen? I don’t do any mental stuff and im probably about 10 1/2 stone fully suited and booted so not after a tank.
cheers in advance!
