Skoze Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) Say that to him then? If there's something second hand and i wont have the money for another week or so, i ask the 'rents to bail me out on special occasions."hey dad, this really nice frame is for sale and i'd like to buy it. I don't likie asking too much from you but could you buy it for me and i'll pay you back next week when i get paid?"The worst he can say is no. (after the no, shut off and nod occasionally if he rambles on)Or ask said seller to hold it for you, but that doesn't always work hehe.Buying things with your own hard earned is actually wicked, spesh when you're young. I love my leeson to bits because in it's current attire, i've paid for 95% of it, which is sweet. Edited October 6, 2008 by Skoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam F Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I will hold it back for him.. it's not that he won't have the money it's because hes dads just pretty much bought him that t-mag and he's going to replace it so quickly that hes dad's gonna be annoyed thinking that hes bought it for his son and hes changing the frame so quickly.

trials_pimp Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I Agree with your old man.The Bike isnt that Old, Why Not give it a Chance. You wont suddenly Become a better ride just because you have a More expencive bike.Some of the Best riders Ive seen have Performed at their peak on a shit bike. Its not the Bike, its the Rider. Why Not concentrate your money on parts of the Bike that Need Upgrading when they fail. Hubs brakes ect.You could find simply Chaning the stem or gear ratio will completely transform the bike into something you could love.

spartan Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Yeah i agree with the dude above me. Like there shouldnt be anything wrong with ur frame now, if u just want a new frame then yeah its your money but if u put that money into buying better parts or something then you would have a better bike over all i think.-OR-Dads love to do thing with their kids man.I told my dad i was buying a new frame and he bitched about it for almost 3 months.After that i told my dad that i was buying a DH bike and i need him to pay pal the money for me and help me build it and he was stoked.See if u can involve him some way or just show him why you need/want a new frame, just make sure that you dont tell him that the bike he bought u sucks cuz thats a sure fire way to shit him down!!

Totally agree with Monsuir Lee.Just ride it till you improve, upgrade the parts then go for a new frame, it'll be awesome.T-mags don't ride too badly at all!

Skoze Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Dents don't automatically write a frame off.As for a 'good' bike, what parts do you currently have? There's not a lot of point having a good frame with awful parts, ruins it completely imo.Spend your cash upgrading other parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Ok.. well what parts do you actually have?Just get on and ride it dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I wouldnt Worry about a dent.Onza Frames are made from pretty thick Materials, it wont sudenly let go.MK1 Ashton, Rode it like that for almost a year, and Nothing happened. (it died when 5 cracks met on the top tube)give us a spec list of your bike, just out of curiosity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffacakes Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 No,right near my headset.It'll probebly be ok, I was riding the rocks by my house, a huge wave came so i threw the T-lite because it was all tarred up.It left a f**king huge dent in the side of my top tube near the head set, never let out though.
