Dan81 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Im just playing with the idea at the mo but thinking about a new frame (and maybe forks)...now bear in mind I haven't ridden properly in 6 years so most the makes I'm seeing on here are all new to me - Im of the old school (pashleys, team giant, Vario, little cannondales etc!) and there wasn't so much choice then so I don't really know what Im looking for by todays standards......So being old I want something with a seat (do any exist?)....and not toooooo tiny....as for the rest Im not sure. Obviously it has to be stable on one wheel (back more important). Also, I like to do a bit of street style riding in-between the hopping around....if I see something to launch off and clear a gap or just something to take a run up and jump over.Im not into the long long stems and flat 'pointy up at the ends' bars and featherlight carbon stuff either, I want something that looks cool and can take some abuse...A rear disc mount and magura mounts. Last is price....had to come into it. I dunno what they cost so let me know or post a link!So come on...give me some ideas what to drool over until I can splash out! Links, prices and recommendations, and advice what to look for are all welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doopdoopbedoop Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I reckon that you should maybe look out for an "old school" set-up in the classifieds once you can buy and sell as a member. I'm pretty similar in what I look for, but then again I just kept my Echo ES4 instead of selling it and having to look for something similar when I came back!

Read it oh crap...now Im seriously gonna have to think about getting one!Big thanks for the link....still, does anyone know if these are good?I was looking at one of these myself a few months ago, until i snapped up a rather snazzy leeson!My friend Tom had one of these and reckoned it rode really nicely. Strong, fairly average weight, 4bolt and disc mounts, good for streety moves like manuals and bunnyhops, but it could still hack the more modern moves such as taps, gaps and sidehops.Despite my love for the old-school streety stocks, i'm becoming a sheep and migrating to an Inspired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
