Rob/Mitch Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hi, I'm planning on spending £150ish on a new frame soon and I just wondered which one would be best to build up?Tarty have a good deal on with the Simtra and Echo pure 08 frames both falling within my budget and i just wondered which you guys would recommend?Are there any other frames out there that would be better for the money?Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r2wtrials Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 .. he won't like it, it's the wrong colour I know my older Pure frame was really nice although i do like the higher BB of my adamant a2 now. Not heard too much about the Simtra frames... what are they like as far as strength goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 07 pure rides like shit, short one is horrible, and the long one is just about bearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I would recomend the simtra! for the money its a great frame and looks VERY beefy! Mine got fairly abused though and it did give up (snapping it in two ) However the rear end is one of the beefiest I have ever seen on a trials frame. they also ride fairly good too!

ogre Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 i'm currently rocking a simtra it's a great frame feels nice and stiff and it can handle a fair beating. The disk mounts on it are rediculously thick get a simtra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 i loved the 07 pure one of the nicest bikes ive ever ridden...perfect geo IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_man_dan Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Im currently on a 08 pure and it feels mint , real sweet to ride, easy on the back wheel , silly light and more than strong enough, just make sure u run a booster on the rear as u will get frame flex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 simtra just for the fun fact of bunny hops felt nice on the backwheel as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
