definitely wouldn't go for the rockhound... the best thing you could go for is either a control or a t-rex...both very strong, dependable frames. And i'd 100% go second hand, i built my bike up from scratch from 2nd hand bits, and it ended up costing me £200...a build that would have set me back around £800 new. So, in conclusion....low to mid bb ( 0-25 ) short (1065-1080) frame with some decent components, pm me for any other advice etc..or just ask on here... best of luck in finding a steed that ticks all these boxes.

different company ..... and in so doing weaken it by ~80%? i think he's best off trying to get a replacement, don't you?

nope, urbans are +0 ( designed for a 160mm rotor ) compared to the +20 sls ( designed to take a 180 rotor )

t-pro chainstay style then?

...not sure if thats good or bad

same, about 11.30 drop me a comment if you wanna ride in together

jack, you should have put me on the list

no, im going from tiverton parkway..getting a lift up there.... You going to be catching same time train as me then? gets in at 11.30 course not.....

what time does you trian get in? could ride there together if youw ant Apparently if you catch a train to reading, you can catch a direct train to waterloo... but im not sure

street..er its an alpaca! beaten to it .....

chainreactioncycles = crc? cnc pads? heatsink or phatpads fit the bill

bit ot...but if anyone wants to find me....ill be ont he silver zenith with red spangly bits, wearing an uber bright yellow t-shirt

if you hammer it back, the steel wont work harden half as much as aluminium would, so you should be fine on that count.....i think most frames would have dented on that, just depends on tubing thickness used really

haha sounds very silly....oh well, back to the old "where;s your seat" " where's your brakes" ....

like pashley26 said....slight lack of social status stops you form pulling that one off

looks amazing, blue and red go together so well( get a red viz rim for the front though ) Hopefully you won't bash this one as hard

I'd say get a t-pro....pretty much the same as the levelboss, but shed-loads cheaper

just upload to pinkbike or phot buckte...or as an ipb image

go for some urbans or viz/trialtech.... all great forks, similar length just the viz /tt are a bit more pricey, although far stronger

Fine cranks for a beginner, but for £42 i wouldn't even consider them...like has been said; wait till you're validated and get some off here. Should be able to pick up some echo cnc / tensiles for £30-35 or some echo forged for round £20

shorts are awesome to ride, mates got one....lussssh Try before you buy though, not to everyone's tastes

whack up a wanted topic, you may get lucky got a stock one, but im gonna assume you dont need it as you ride a mini bike

righto, ill get on that in a bit thanks luke...you catching the same train per chance?

Nope, these have been discontinued unfortunately

you catching the same time train? any ideas how i go about booking bike spaces on the train?
