Lukeee Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 big enough :o i'll look into everything then ← I weigh 18 stone and people say i ride light. I really is more technique than weight. If you see a frame you like go with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Why not get the most reliable trials frame ever - a Level Boss 1065. Damn you Mr savage! il have your head on my plate. im well impressed with the strength and durability of my levelboss, same material as all the echo's and zoo frames. it also still holds a light(ish) frame weight but the material is proven to be super strong and durable, no matter how big tall or heavy you are just throw everything at it! i have all 9 1/2 stone!!!! and its been on some serious missions. i just need to bash a video together to show you. The other major thing dude is that you get the best "Geometry" after riding many bikes over the years i can honestly say the best frames i have ridden have to be "Ashton Jusice" the old skool "Megamo Radical steel frame" and now top of my list would have to be the "Levelboss 1100" iv got a 2005 "Levelboss 1065" and its the dogs bollox! it feels very streety yet super agile while natural riding. a very good compromise. with other frames such as Echo/Zoo's there awesome frames but what you have to look at is the History and profile of the company????: 1) Koxx must have at least like 5/6 world champions!!!! designing and testing bikes. As Echo/Zoo have really good quality riders promoting their bikes in the likes of Neil Tunnicliffe, Craig Lee Scott and Phil Williams 2) Since day one the bike shave been made to a very suitable and good quality, in the early years of Echo everyone knows how the bikes were............. 3) please dont anyone turn round to me and say "your only doing this cos your sponsered by them" for years on end iv wanted to ride for Fred Savage weather it would have been on a Megamo or a Koxx it wouldnt have mattered, he treats people with the up most respect and the service he provides is spot on. 4) the only other thing i have to say is Koxx Days...............it was an awesome experience!and cant wait for 2006!!! the attitude of the people at Koxx from Dominique Hermance to all the pro/elite riders its all so chilled and a nice environment to be in. i wish they could do a similar thing for us in the uk so it was less traveling for everyone and everyone could experience the Koxx days Diva! Waynio....................... The above is not to pull down or sound off at the companies in the previous passage. but after months and months of having goes on different peoples bikes il always go back to the trust worthy levelboss if it came down to it. as i know i can set one up to suit m riding and could do it to suit any other riders needs. Bucky has had a go on both of my levelbosses and likes how they are set up, hes probably said it to most of the bikes iv had but in particular liked my 2005 version.

Waynio Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Even consider a Pashley GHZ? there awfuly strong too!!!! but if your a short rider it may hold you back from tapping and new skool natural style riding. i could make you a list of positive and negatives on literally every frame on the market. Pashley = too short?but fun for street Onza T-rex = heavy?geometry lacks a bit of umph,needs a high bar setup to make it ride well. Zoo Pitbull = strong/light (2004 model) good lengths 1060 wb or 1080/90 wb (i think) Waynio..................... the list could go on and on and on, for hours on end. its boring when you have had most frames available, its nothing that im proud to be able to say id rather say iv only ever ridden 4/5 different frames but i have to say iv ridden maybe 25/30 :o :o" dead or alive.

gazmaz03 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 ok so the other topic was a bit of a joke , so im looking for a frame thats gonna take some serious beef , i was thinking along the lines of a base or possibly a leeson due the being custom and steel , the base seemed appealing due to the price tag but leeson for the garuantee , im not on a budget but the cheaper the better , and remember its going to have to take some serious beef as im no lightweight cheers charel ← I would say get the Leeson because you will not get messed about, and the frames are strong as f**k. If anything goes wrong then Clive will sort it out for you not a problem. I have one brought second hand on Alan Felton, not one problem they look good too, plus you can have any colour :o . Its the best choice although the base is quite cheap and rides nice I have also had one of these but I would go for the Leeson.
