I have one, built with 24" tuffs, its a great bit of fun for street cruising and towpath riding. Its not particularly heavy but not exactly light either.
Depends what you're used to or what you want it for. I personally wouldn't use it as a race frame.

Post by: mattuknc on February 18, 2013, 09:45 AM: I have one too. I tried a set of tuffs but moved to spokes as they are much lighter!
Nice frame for rolling round on. :daumenhoch:

Post by: FAZE3 on February 18, 2013, 01:28 PM: Thanks for this guys, like yours Matt, looks the part ;) I was thinking of just riding back and forth to the pub really, I look a bit to large for my 20" bmx's these days :'(

What sort of money did you guys pay? Where did you buy from?

Post by: martin46 on February 19, 2013, 07:35 PM: Frame, Forks and Bars from Planet BMX/Coloured Tuffs.

Cant remember exactly what i paid, but i reckon altogether i've spent near £600 on it. So not really a cheap roll around.

Turns lots of heads though and always generates interest and questions form people.
