looking at 2 frames in a sale and may think about getting one as im struggling to find cheapy good second hand one .
now they are blank frames which i know probably arent super nuice but the are :Full 4130 Chromoly
• Tapered Seat Stay
• Oval Chainstay
• Internal Headset
• Cnc'd 5mm rear drop outs
• Machined Mid Bottom Bracket Shell
• Removable Brake Hardware
• Intergrated Seatclamp
so i guess that they are reasonably good but they have 2 different ones onlt fdifference is
headtube 74.5 or 75 and rear stays 13.75 or 13.67 .
now the 74.5 headtube one has got the longer top tube for me but is this head angle wrong for park ,dirt and track useage this one also has slightly longer back end which im okay with
just worried about the head angle more than anything
-
How much is the Blank frame Greg? ???
-
if it dont sell before 12.00 today it will be reduced again to 73.70
-
they have sputnic too at 93.50 again after 12.00 today but not sure on head angles again .might have to credit card one if the headangles are confirmed okay for me on here betty usually knows what hes on about might give him shout
-
So you want a new school frame to do anything on? Race/park/trails
Id speak to stodgy.........he'd give you good advice. just cos a frame is full cromo don't mean its any good.
Blanks aren't that great in the scheme of things.
Gashead just sold a cracking frame n forks for just over a ton
-
i dont need super good just descent as in nothing shite like diamond back/haro/gt etc lol
the sputnic looks nice too
-
balls missed out onj the sputnic waqs just typing in the voucher code and someone else paid tad faster than me and got it .never mind
-
Greg, the S&M 38 has a 74.5 degree head angle,hope this helps :daumenhoch:
