What Frames Have You Had?

Recommended Posts

-Monty x-hydra, sold it to buy a bmx, missed it so...

-Monty x-hydra, got bored, sold it, a few weeks later I bought...

-Monty x-hydra (still have most of it at home!), opportunity to upgrade came up...

-Monty x-lite, got bored with trials, so I sold it...

-2 year break from trials, rode a lot of xc and then moved back into BMX, had a strange new urge to ride trials again...

-1060 '04 Echo Pure, my favourite bike ever, but I fancied a change, so I swapped it for...

-Monty 231 x-hydra, the coolest frame ever made, didn't enjoy the 25" brake mounts so I sold it and bought...

-'06 Monty 221ti, sprayed green, the coolest looking mod ever, built it with an awesome spec, ran out of money and sold it at a massive loss after riding it once...

-Vario Styx (have the frame sitting under my bed with bb and headset if anyone wants to buy it?), kindof fun to ride, but it was beaten to buggery. Didn't ride for about 6 months, then I bought...

-A Zhi Z2, Ridden it for a few weeks, discovered I don't do high bottom brackets, currently up for sale...

-Just got hold of a Leeson 609. always wanted to try out the whole 24" thing as I bunnyhop a lot and have spent a fair bit of time riding 'street' on a BMX...

Not as impressive as most of you, but I've always had a few other bikes running at the same time, including roadies, fixies, XC and BMXs.

edit:I rode the frame I built for my A level tech for a couple of weeks while I had the Vario until it cracked around the headtube.

I started out on my base t19, very good starter bike, and is still going today, its with my mate alex (BigAl on here), and he's soon selling it on to another mate of mine.

after saving for a while, I got an echo lite 06 short and still have it today, still as reliable as it was when i first got it, but the downside was that it has v mounts on it, so have to run evo 2's, which are a nightmare. I've ordered a czar mod, 4 bolt long version, so i dont have to mess around with evo 2's anymore (thank god).

Well I first started trying to do tricks and trials moves about 12 years ago... so I've owned quite a few frames!

1. '95 GT Tequesta 18" XC bike - Obviously couldn't handle extreme backhopping and snapped at the dropout

2. Santa Cruz Chameleon in lime green (h) - Snapped at the headtube

3. Orange Zero - Stolen

4. PX Zebdi Mk3 - Cracked BB shell & headtube

5. Merlin jump frame. Some cheap sketchy steal frame I used for a while, snapped & rewelded many times

6. PX Zebdi Mk4 - Cracked BB shell

7. PX Pitbull - Snapped chainstay & seatube, cracked headtube, rewelded 2 or 3 times! Vids here and here

8. Echo Pure 1060 - Sold and eventually snapped. Vid of me riding it here and here

9. Leeson 609 Bump - Used for about 6/7 months, owned for 3 years (see below, recently sold)

10. Echo Control 06 long. - Received when I was sponsored by Halfords, eventually sold

11. Adamant 07 short - Best frame I've ever had, so much fun. Some clips of me at the start of this vid here

Brings back some memories going through all that!

Your Leeson looks niiiiiiiiiice!

I can now say I've had:

1. GU TP - didn't like how long it was Wb was something around 1035mm ish, sold it. :P

2. Echo Lite - lovely and light, frame a little jelly but with brake booster its fine. WB is 1010mm, feels perfect.
