Title: Bargain race frame and forks?
Post by: pickle on October 23, 2009, 08:08 AM: don't know if these are regarded as pants or not, but marked down from £300 to £70 seems pretty good and retro looking to :daumenhoch:

They did have the Pro XL for £56 but it looks like they sold out!! :(

They only have the Pro at £64!!

Post by: pickle on October 23, 2009, 08:57 AM: so this is short then? i just thought they look a pretty good deal if you're on a tight budget :daumenhoch:

Post by: moley on October 23, 2009, 09:16 AM: I think the Pro is 20.5"

Pro XL is probably around 21" - 21.25"

And the XXL is probably 21.5" or larger!!

The sizes were stated when the Pro XL was advertised but I can't remember them now!!

For a NS Racer, 20.5" is probably too short for a lot of adults as they tend to use longer frames than Freestyle Frames!

Post by: dialledbikes on October 23, 2009, 01:22 PM: These are from the late 90s/early 2000s so the sizes should be in line with most current race frame sizes, i.e. Pro 20.5", Pro XL 21"-21.5" and XXL 21.5"+.

Post by: dialledbikes on November 04, 2009, 10:25 AM: I'm surprised those frames are heavy, being alloy and all, but at least they should be strong.

Basically a late 90s GT pro series frame with a different back end. Great for £60 :daumenhoch:
