Ok, so I've now completed my GT build and I want to start something new, I'm quite attatched to my GT so I don't wanna try anything that may damage it just yet, but I do have..

A Townsend Xpose frame!!

Truly the ugliest mass-produced pile of cr@p out there. It has a freestyle platform a bit like an ammaco but with top tubes like a pro performer, as for the downtube it can't make it's mind up wether it's bent or not, it has a half hearted bend in it and the whole thing looks about a foot too long. Question is, has anyone ever built a bike just for destruction, a test machine, a disposable bike? is it worth it?

ORB:
My view is, i dont think you will have any satisfaction if you build a bike you have no respect for, especially if you lob any coins at it.

There are plenty of cheap frame sets out there, I mean last week there were about ten billion Streetbeats sold NOS for about £20

Have a think and see what takes your fancy.

I mean, i took a burner to bones that i could not give away (radman wanted it but we dont count him as a person) so in the end we ran some experiments on it....

Have a look about

plenty out there.

theRuler:
the beat is a good idea.

cheap to get going, but will make a worthwhile bike at the end of it!!
