Funds available just can’t make that final choice!

PA at £225 or the Kili at £270

I’ve heard several people singing praises of both frames, but with the price difference in mind I’m extremely tempted by the PA but the Kili’s chrome butted Joints look real tasty (obviously a poor reason to base a real decsision on!)

I’ll be using with 120mm rebas, hopes/crests, xt chainsets (1×9)
On your standard UK trails, Nantyrarain, Cannock Chase, Sherwood pines etc…

Genuinely stuck on choice!

What would you lot do?

This isn’t going to help you 🙂

I’ve got a PA and its really good. Nice finish, masses of mud room. It’s like a Bmx. Oddly I prefer it to my soul.

I’d go PA

It’s a small and I’m near Oxford if you want to try it

P.A.

I have a PA here, haven’t tried te Kili to comment.
Build wise, very similar to your plan with crests and Recons (@130mm). Rides lovely, I’m currently drawn to it more than my ASR5.

Gratuitous pic:

What size?

Only have the discounted Prince Alberts in 15.5″ and 19″.

Indeed 15.5″ is what I’m after, however I’ve had a wee set back in funds, will be back on board in a week, I’m hoping you’ll still have one in stock!

This when you tell me you’ve just sold the last one! 🙁

Where can you get the kili at that price?

Wow, good prices, not my size though and the seatclamp is too small

Another possible option for you if you are looking for a 15.5/16″ frame

Yeah I looked at the genesis but it has some weird ass headset size! 44mm? My forks are a standard 1-1/8″..

Thanks for the shout!

Defo the Prince Albert. Best hardtail I’ve ever had, and I’ve had me share… 🙂

I use 140mm pikes on mine and never adjust the travel. Perfect…

The 44mm headset size is for zero stack headsets and allows 1 1/8 forks to be used as well as tapered with an external lower cup. The head tube being 44mm was one of the reasons i went for one this afternoon, i look at it as future proofing.

Luke,

If you are still interested I have one (Kili) in the classified…

John, very tempting, but I think I’m sold on the Prince Albert, funds for which come through in the next few days, however if they sell out, I’ll defo check to see if you still have the kili,

What sort of condition is the frame in?

Bought in May. One of 2 bikes. Heli-taped. Very good condition.

Just got the ti version…

Purchased a PA 725, great service from mike at dialled bikes.

Building tonight,
Excited much!!!

Pics when finished please!
