The Duck Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 It all works well... Dropouts n stuff.But they are mega short.What do you ride at the moment and how do you find it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 lets just say its too long lol and have you ridden one ? how much would a second hand one be roughly?Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Yeah ridden one once, felt like a monty to me.Second hand one would probably be £150-£180? Finding one second hand is another matter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The maggie mount felt as if it wrapped itself around the frame! lolIts cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Dave at tarty had one, and he had no problems with it as far as i no, he used a disk and it was fine. Dont think he had a problem with the dropouts either. I think aslong as you use and set them up properly then they will be fine. I rode daves and it rode really sweet and it bunnyhoped real nice.
