Hi
Since selling my bouncy bike and having the hardtail nicked I need to find a bike!
I really just need a frame and forks.. anyone seen any good deals??
I need something 5-6'' and tough enough for occasional DH day (but still light)
ta very much
Selling some Pronghorn demo bikes if that's any good to you.
does it need to be new? I wanted the bouncy ride setup this summer and i bought a 4 year old coiler and built that up. 6" front and rear ... tough as nails, cheap as chips, light? no. fun? hell yeah.
*googles Pronghorn*
sounds like a disease of the manhood :-S
re coiler.. hmmm, well tbh I've been spoilt having had a lovely Foes as my last bouncy bike. ..
the thing is it needs to be light enough to ride all day in the Peaks as well as being bounced off trees in Wharncliffe..
I haven't a budget in mind.. just wondering what's out there tbh!
does it need to be light.
just weigh it the STW way, ie. hover it above a set of kitchen scales and then declare it just under 30lbs*
*this only applies to a 6" full suss
27lbs - 4" FS
26lbs - LT HT
25lbs - HT
23lbs - SS HT
20lbs - rigid SS
Where are these cheap-as-chips Coilers? I've never managed to find one.
69 degree H/A on that Prongything.. little bit steep for me tbh
I like the idea re weight 😀
When I say "light" I mean preferably less than the Foes which was 34.5lb and a beasty to get up the hills..
Realcycles has cracking Meta 6 deals at the moment
ASR-7 in that case. Suit you sir.
have a look on freeborn.co.uk - they have some great offers on some quality canadian bikes at the moment!
Take a look at the Mythic Spitfire, some great deals on them with Fox or Rockshox forks.
flyingfox - seen any cheap ASR7's perchance?!
peachos.. ah yes, freeborn...will take a look
Shandy - spitfire? where from, freeborn?
hmmmm, the Devinci Hecktik looks rather good value although I can't find any reviews on the 2010 model (supposed to use proper bearings as opposed to bushings and tings)
Yeah Freeborn for the Spitfire, if you follow the links through their site theres loads of information about the design and the build options. Mine is 30lbs ish with a set of 32 Talas, SLX group, Pro2/Flows tubed 2.35 Maxxis, Wellgo Mags.
hmmm interesting . . I quite like the look of the Mythic Banshee is it . . The six inch jobbie one ..
sorry rune . . Not banshee, that's the brand name in US innit . .
Ive been able to offer some cheap deals on Transition coverts with Fox float 36s and Cane creek headset
hmm, that sounds interesting Sancho- I do like the look of the Covert too.
Could you mail me with a rough idea of prices? thanks
sancho - you work for surf sales?
