Muel Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hey, I have a simtra, never ride it and I've got bored of trialsy stuff, I wanna do some wheelies and go round in circles.Are their any similar frames to the way an Inspired rides, but a bit bigger? Would prefer a more useable seat aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 there is the yaabaa 799 frame. But its disc only on the back. Or a zebedi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Thought about the 799, but no chance of finding one second hand and disc only. Basically I'm a bit bored, fancy a setup where I can switch back and forth between my Simtra and the streety thing whenever I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 yeah, I know what you mean, I am after the same thing, I don't get on with 24" wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Disc only for streety stuff would be awesome though - plenty of modulation but still have power when you need it, plus it'd be nice and silent. Win-win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Keep an eye out for a new rockman frame, 26inch and similar geo to the old echo pure (1060, +10, 72deg, 385mm) it may also be available with Vee mounts!!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win-win?Hmmm could work, just can't get on with disc on a stock.I just want to be able swap the frames over, and add a seat. The Rockman sounds good, but I bet it'll be rather expensive. I was only looking to buy second hand really, I don't ride often enough to justify a new frame now.I'm sure there was a couple of 26" versions of the 24UK made, and I think a 26" Inspired proto? Dunno where that's from though, just the recesses of my memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no massive dragon/flowers graphics on it? Will it have a seat tube long enough to run a saddle in the right position?

Luke Rainbird Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 oh my god staples' inspired was soo nice, those vee brakes were amazing!Shame they didn't put vee mounts on the frames Hunting down an '04 Pure/Zeb would probably be your best bet, Muel. May know of one (pure) for sale but I think he's after shifting the entire bike, let me know if you want me to hunt down a little more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Cheers for all the help guys, I'm gonna have a little thinky. Anyone know the geo of a Zebedi?Ogre I'll be in touch tonight, cheers mate.I do fancy an 04 Pure, whats the geo?EDIT: Oh btw, it needs to take a real seat not a plugin type one, I want to get my sitting down wheelies on again.
