MK999 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Normally find loads of onza woodstocks on ebay, cheap and cheerful and come with a seat tube, looked at a few before I got my mission reefer (and had it been the same price I would have got the woodstock as they look far better) edit: Also what do you drive etc, also a lover of those 2 special letters that denote that fantastic black and grey material Edited December 27, 2010 by MK999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon Addict Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Too new for me really Validation is done by full members submitting votes on your posts, but a similar thing. to be honest its a bit too new for me as lots of things i want to do the parts are not there! its all custom and that means expensive! oh well i treated it to some 650GBP coilovers the other week but now its chewed up its clutch and front tyres lol, gratefull for its treat i guess..... ooo seems like a good idea! just have to make sure im behaving LOL.

I have the same issue with parts but for the opposite reason age wise, as in the parts are *no longer* there I just like the more retro stuff, the dream project is an Opel Manta A with an RB25/26 stuffed in the front that's 70-75, and I currently own a Nova runaround and track car project at 93 (facelift as of 90 though) and 88 (originally around in 85ish) respectively, so that should put into perspective what too new is On topic though; ebay is definitely your best bet for really cheap starting bikes, if it's not full suspension and dual disc the masses don't wanna know, so trials bikes which are only just trials bikes tend to go for <200, I got mine for £50, spent 70 on some HS33's and way more than I needed to on other odd bits, but it could have been working fine for £140ish!

On topic: i have a full suspension bike thats in pieces out the front ( my nan thought it would of been a good xmas gift 4-5 years back ) its been sat outside since as its not what i wanted lol id asked for a front suspension with disks all round. not a full suspension with no disks that came from bidup.tv.... so maybe i could sell off that for cheap on ebay and put it into the new bikes funds i was looking at spending up to around 250-300 but cheaper the better i guess ( within reason ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
