I always go for external just for the comfort in knowing i can service it properly myself

Thanks for the replies and advice I'll give Gary a call and hopefully make an order this weekend.

Hey, not sure if you want to do it yourself or willing to pay for it? I was looking at respraying my old frame a while ago, didn't get round to doing it but was going to send it to biketart. They can do pretty much anything on a bike frame for up to about £100. Get in contact with them (http://www.biketart.com/pages/resprays)

Hi guys thanks for the replies, I dont know what the first "post 1" is about...? Yeah the Curtis frames are expensive, but you get what you pay for. I've been doing dirt jumping and street riding for about 6 years, since then have broken a few mid-range budget frames so now I plan on spending a bit more for a top quality frame that will apparently last forever.. Thanks for the info on Marino their frames look quality but I can't find any info on the materials used and the frame manufacturing process, know where it is? The choice is between custom Curtis or Marino frame, was already partially decided on Curtis because they're custom and British but the idea of a Peruvian custom frame sounds cool, I dont think I've seen any in my area. If I can get Curtis to lower the head angle of the T24 frame slightly to ~69-71o will the frame geometry become more suited to a 80mm fork? Sorry for blabbering on I've been looking for a new frame for ages, hoping to get it before our short British summer starts and finishes but looks like little chance of that. Thanks again

Hi all, this is my first post in this forum. I ride mostly street but have been getting into more and more trials, I think I now need a smaller frame but not one that is trials specific. I'm looking for a disc only 24" trials frame thats compatible with an 80mm fork. Does anyone have any recommendations? Something similar to Ryan Leech's Norco Manifesto but with horizontal drop-outs and disc only. I really want the Curtis T24, but can it be used with 80mm forks?
