curtis@soton Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Hi, Ive found two different frames on eBay, one being a base ta26 for 150 pound and a non branded frame for 39.99 and i cannot see the difference, they are both alloy frames the base ta26 is a 13" frames and the other is 12".... here's the link to the eBay shop I'm tempted to get the non branded frame but I'm cautious as to whether its good enough Edited December 10, 2010 by curtis@soton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Whilst a frame like that would have been somewhat of a godsend ten years ago, you can pick up a decent frame for not a lot of money now. Either going straight for something new that will cost a tad more short term but last you longer and allow you to keep progressing, or looking second hand and picking up a frame for £50-100 would probably be your safest bets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 If you are a beginner, both frames will be fine for a bit. However, the Base is a trials specific (if old skool) frame whereas the other is a generic dirtjump type frame. For £150 you can get a much better frame second hand off here (Max T's Zoo Piranha comes to mind, look in the for sale thread at the frames on offer). That is of course if you want a trials specific frame. If you want one for occasional trials/dirtjumping etc then the generic frame would be fine, you just won't have a bike that will do anything very well it will do all things ok.

Luke Dunstan Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Some lucky sod just picked up my spanking new Pitbull frame off Ebay for £40. So many bargains about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza p Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Go on swapz.com there's a Koxx level boss on there for 40 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy13 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 go for the cheaper frame if your just starting, when i started i bashed and damaged the frame alot. also when you get a little better your style and approach will become clearer to you and you can up grade to a new frame that suits that approach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
