[Closed] PSA: Curtis frames stoopid cheap on CRC... British steel goodness

i thought i read curtis were shipping some production out to the far east

not that im knocking far east manufacturing or curtis frames mind!

Just bought a Sanderson breath for £142 new, do I send back and get a Curtis?! It arrives tomorrow....

72% off is bonkers! Sadly there's nothing that would suit me but well worth a go if there is.

Bought an S1 earlier 🙂

OMG must have a cold shower...

£199 for a Curtis Freeride, must resist - can't even ride at the mo, sold my hummer (sigh) and have a brodie holeshot sitting doing nothing and now I want a curtis.... nooo!

Gutted - I was literally half a second too slow on a medium Freeride frame. It disappeared between me logging into paypal and the final confirmation click.

Now, how different would a large Freeride or S1 be to a medium Sanderson Breath?

There's 73% off Rocky Mountain Vertex frames too!

I know, it was too difficult for me to resist, I'm very much meant to be getting rid of things right now, not buying them! 8)

Was it the Black 17.5" Freeride? If so... sorry 😳 8)

I owe you a pint chap - just bought myself a racelite and I'm now a VERY happy man!

Nice one!

Good job no mediums left! but sad to have missed one 🙁

They're cheap cos they have ropey geometry and hence ride a bit funny, surely its obvious.

None of those Curtis frames appeal to me, but that Rocky Mountain does....

TBH they're all way, way overpriced at full RRP.

weird geometry

15.5 and 23 inch top tube - thats for freaks...

In CRC related news, I just bought a Last Herb DH frame from CRC with £1400 off. ZAMOFAGUH, etc.

Yep, £2k+ for the Vertex frame at RRP? £600 is much more reasonable! Nice looking frame though 🙂

Does this sort of thing give one an idea of the margin on stuff I wonder?

£611 inc free shipping to Australia (and no GST in Oz as it'll be underAUD$1000)... **** me... think I might've just ordered one 😯

stuck a 19.5" in my basket, logged into paypal to pay but then had a rethink, slightly odd geo, cracking price though.

More worrying are the 15.5" Cove Stiffee frames for £199 😯

The Tomac Snyper 140 @ £450 has caught my eye now.........

Some crazy bargains there -
Tomac Snyper 140 £449 and Salsa El Kaboing £499!!

If I was in the market for a 140mm bike I'd snap one of those up.

looks like i'll have to keep my 2010 turner 5spot, £799 on crc, £599 for the 2009...

Their Turner and Niner prices are damn tempting too...

Psychle- nope. This is just what happens when a warehouse is emptied to release cash. No one will be making much money on these.

Just bought a Scott Cross Comp frame to replace my old Trek XO2- 2007, but down to £99 from £699. Wonder if it'll come with a fork? 😆

Large and medium available....

Cove frames are cheap, some with 63% off

jesus christ there are some deals about! that last dh frame!!! i'm glad my herb FR is doing all i need at the moment or i'd be getting that in a flash. the hardtail frames are only £99!

You're buggered if you're trying to sell a 2nd hand frame right now. Some of those prices - hardtail and full sus - are just silly.

yep, my turner frame is gonna be hung up in the garage,just to remind me never to pay full retail again 😥

I still wouldn't buy a Turner at those prices

I've never paid full rrp for any bike or frame. The constant greed for new shiny by mtbers means there's always great older stock and s/h bargains to be had. 😀

This time of year is the best time to buy a new bike or frame. Companies will sell at a loss just to clear stock to make way for new stuffs.

tempted on a niner full suss, 1k off!

Those Snypers are a lovely looking frame. I was sooo close to buying one of those a few years back.

Bloody hell those 5 spots are £800!!!

Hora will have trouble shifting his at £1100.

Those curtis Freerides are perfect for a short arse like me.

I wonder how they compare to the Soul?

Always wanted a Curtis but would not pay £750.

Why are they dodgy geometry?

I resisted, just!

Sultan 2010 £800

Flux 2009 £600!!!!

I've got a small freeride frame in the basket and really struggling to not press the 'buy' button. 🙄

CRC have some Commencals in the showroom too.

Do it, but don't forget the UK15 code and 3% cashback through Quidco (if you're a member 🙂 )

Hello! i'm a freak - my hummingbird is a 16" with 23" TT - just how i like it.

already ahead of you, using topcashback and the UK15 code 😉

Sultan frame looks tempting

Brilliant frame james, for that price its a steal.

Would a 19" be too big for me at 6 foot?

I only have 100mm Rebas for it too

No, Im 6 foot 2 and ride an XL with a 70mm stem and inline post so the L should be spot on

Edit: If your Rebas are the newer model you can lose a spacer to get 120mm
