Mowgli Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Definately worth it, quite cheap even if some bits need changing. Make an offer £40 lower than the buy it now price try save some more money.Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgun_Donor Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 This is an awesome frame, mine only lasted a year, but took one hell of a beating. lovely to ride, but i had loads of trouble witht he 116 spacing they had ont he production frames. But with the 135 spacing can get a pro2 and it would be mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakewell Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 can i ask what happened to yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) well i went from being very sketchy and not bevy good, to being at the stage im at now, which is alright. but that frame is lovely, the only reason it cracked is cause the stays were so mangled. I had managed to put several huge dents in the down tube and so so so many dents in the stays, but finally cracked just behind the CNCed BB yoke.Trying to finish of a vid of me changing from my 247 to my Adamant, but you get a nice close up of the damage and cracks.But for £350 it is the nicest bike you will ride, really is recommended!!!

bakewell Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 good to hear it can take a beating then. i'm just getting back into it after a few years off. use to ride a orange zero till i snapped the forks on a hop and broke my teeth which i never want to go through again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Bargain.How do you know what hub it has? I couldn't find where it said anywhere. Also what cranks are they? Not that it really matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I would buy it now if I were you, it has had three offers already so you never know how much it will go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakewell Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 i can't do it till tomorrow as my mate does my e-baying for me as i having got an account. was going to phone up 24-7 as well in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakewell Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 well i've done it went straight in and brought it straight out saves messing about with the offers. so hopefully be here soon so i can get use to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 The Hubs are 24Seven, practically the same as Deng hubs but my rear one i had a few problems with(again 116 not the 135), also make sure you get a better gear ration, mine came with 18:12, and is just silly hard, try and get 18:15 or 18:16.The cranks are tensile copies basically, but i wouldnt recommend putting a front freewheel off them, my ENO didnt fir properly(unless you run without a bash).
