seaine Posted March 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 i know it is shit but i am thinking of getting back into trials and since my wanted thread for a new frame has not had many replies i think it will be this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rathergoodpie Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Yeah don't bother with these frames they ride like shit. Stupidly low bb. If you are looking for an old skool trials frame go for an old giant or Ashton replica, mabe a pace frame if you can find one. Theres always the old zebidis too.

Lawnmowerman Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 To be honest you'll put yourself off riding going back to that frame, if you want something cheap go for a base ta26 or something. Can probably get one for less than £50 and they ride really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 i want a t-rex so bad or a coust that was my last bike and it was sssssssoooooooooooooo nice You want a T-rex? Get one! Phone supercycles up, and ask them how myuch you can get one for, they've got them brand new in their boxes still. You could get one for pretty damn cheap.

I have a feeling that he is talking about the old T-rexs (the 2001 model) which they don't have any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 are they really going cheap? I've been tempted by getting myself a stock and a knocked down t rex would be pretty sweet! They really are going cheap. I'm sure they'd be happy for the custom. They're legendary frames, really. if you thjink about how many people have got started because of them. Really strong too. I dunno the prices, I could guess but I don't want to say something too low or high and put either one of you off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
