Sam Nichols Posted October 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Here never knew that there was a black version aswell, thought there was only blue. But that is very nice. ← It's not actually black - just taken in the dark.. its gunmetal grey (Y) The guy at the shop said that they were sent loadsa boxes from base with loads of frames and forks and components to be built up into base bikes - but the gunmetal colour was only supposed to be sold as a complete bike... However they were sent one frame too many and so they decided they'd sell it - so i got it. Anyone else smell bullshit? Still was a nice bike though :( san Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george_seamons Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 My First frame was a second hand (terribly colour coordinated) Orange Zero: I then proceeded to pimp it up. After a while I sold it, because it was a bit cramped: I then brought a Koxx Levelboss 1040 (which I also pimped up :P) However, the frame didn't really suit me: And I now have a base TA26 '04: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
