After wresting for hours with a stuck seatpost and eventually resorting to a stillson wrench, I've distorted and cracked the top of the seat tube (seatpost still firmly in the frame).

Anyone know if you can buy spare frame parts from Jungle? I just want the main frame and can transfer the swingarm and shock over.

Not sure might depend on the year, I would simply give them a call and ask, what year is the frame ❓

You can only get replacement parts from Jungle if you are the original owner and have a proof of purchase! If not they may be able to help if they have a 2nd hand part.

And, like Fishbone you'll wait an absolut age for it to turn up from Jungle!!

Okay, thanks for that. I think I have the receipt somewhere and also registered the frame at the time. It's a 2007 frame.

Any idea on approximate cost of a frame before I give them a call in the morning?

[url= http://www.moosecycles.com/products.php?plid=m6b7s26p71&rs=gb ]£899[/url] though if its anodised it might be a different matter

They seem to struggle to make more than £450 2nd hand (newer shape), last time I looked

Yes, £899 for a complete frame. I am only looking to buy a replacement main triangle from Jungle.

ok I thought you were after the full price, so you could compare it to Jungles offer..
Doubt there 'that' many ppl who done it, it's not like they have a bad rep for breaking.

Cheers. Was thinking the same Z1ppy. My fear is, even if a replacement is available, I'll be waiting an age for it. Fingers crossed...
