dannyboy:
wot is the best ?or is it personal preference ???

Bob_Acid:
I think it's more to do with what you can afford, as a kid i only ever had one piece. Now apart from one of my old skool bikes i wouldn't dream of riding hard with my fat asš on anything other than 3 piece.

Rombloke:

sam hudson:
Like you,i could never afford a three piece but i never had any probs with one piece's.I was always led to believe that three pieces were a bit more fragile than a one piece..spindles rounding etc.But that was because they were made of alloy not cro mo.(the redline ones were cro-mo wernt they?).
My new school se three piece is as hard as nails(and as heavy as a one piece)...i dont think i'll be bending that!!

The-flying-banana:
well i run 3 piece and i must say that you are bound to get into more grief fixing the bleeding things and there's always movement there ??? if they made thermal one piece i'd be back on em ;) no probs actually i see them making a big comeback :)
