trials owns Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) i went from a t-bird (basically the same as a t-vee) to a blade frame and never looked back EDIT when i swapped mine, the rear rim was too thin for the frame causing it not to have the best braking performance (but still worked fine with beefy pads) Edited September 12, 2011 by trials owns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials owns Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) no, its just the frame itself, so if u want a new headset it will have to be bought Edited September 12, 2011 by trials owns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Assuming you mean the bottom bracket you'll have to measure how wide it is. If your ringing Tartybikes up for a headset though it's probably worth asking them as they may know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I seem to remember the T-Vee had 20" wheels front and rear (rather than a rear 19" wheel), so you'd also need a new rear rim/wheel and tyre. The headset and bottom bracket would switch over reasonably easily though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
