Haz Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I was just wondering if there are any 'street' 26" frames about?I used to ride a mk3 Ashton Justice, so something like that would be nice, I guess I'm after the following geometry..~1060mm wb0deg BB rise385mm csa slightly slacker head angle than the justice would be nice too, I think it was around 72deg, so something around 70 would be nice.Been looking through various websites and I couldn't find much, so was going to see if you guys knew of anything?

ZeroMatt Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Sounds like a zero would pretty much match that or the short old pures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_ Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) The old orange trials frame, the orange zero.Yea that sounds to me as though you would be looking at the older frames, as previously mentioned the old pure (the model rowan johns is on 05?) short sounds about right, there were a few for sale not to long ago...EDIT: To be more precise:Like ash said I'm pretty sure they break pretty easy don't see that many around now compared to some of the oldies.

Ash-Kennard Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 04 pure short would be ideal, dont get an orange zero, they break too easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 04 pure short would be ideal, dont get an orange zero, they break too easilyThey still make the Zero? Kin hell, wouldn't go near one...The old pure was good, but I can't find any in decent condition second hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 The new Pitbull short looks pretty good, trouble is, I have a set of Mavic d521s on Hope XCs. I want to use again, I'd have to go dual disc to use them wouldnt I? Because Maggies of the like wouldn't hit the rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Winton. Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Very underated frames the base ta26, they ride really nice for streety moves and trials, they are quite strong too, my mate bought one second hand and it lasted him about 6 months, and he was a basher.
