murph82 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Moved my old levelboss on to get a 24, may have around 400 to spend, what will I get for my money? Really want a decent spec so would also consider a streety 26 as well, anyone any ideas? Edited November 15, 2011 by murph82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) You'd get an averagely specced bike for that. Zoots, Because/ other Chinese shite, maybe an older Inspired, rear Pro2, probably seen some action and needing some attention to get it up to standard. Top-end stuff seems to be around the 600-700 mark. Edited November 15, 2011 by Skoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murph82 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Already got an ashton effect frameset that only needs a rar wheel and brakes to roll. Might be best of just upgrading this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 For your budget if you buy a complete bike you'll have to compromise somewhere; generally either reasonable parts on a less desirable frame or a decent frame with a questionable build. If you've already got a semi-decent platform to go from then upgrading would probably be your best bet (as then you can be a bit more picky and dial in some personal preferences too), otherwise flog any spares you have and add the extra cash to your budget for something a little tidier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got about 200 to finish it. Need rear wheel and brakes. Could benefit from bars. Suggstions? Pro 2 rear obviously! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yeah, Pro 2 on the rear will sort you right out (though Kings do come up cheap on occasion if that's your bag). Something relatively short/high at the front (think Trialtech high rise bars, a few stackers and something like this) should do the job rather nicely. If this is the first time you've really ridden a 24"/streety bike in general then it'll take a little playing around to get a feel for things and dial in all the personal preferences, so don't worry about pimping it all too much 'til you know what you want for sure - get it usable and go from there Brakes are all good, but don't rush to get them on there if the budget can be used elsewhere first - you'll soon pick up a few of the less static trialsy stuff without them which can only really be a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph82 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Oh no, brakes straight on. Want a bb7 front and v on the back. Got an avid arch rival i could put on. Big list coming up in wanted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
