Floyd Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Im thinking about getting a crecsent frame, I just need to know what im letting myself in for. So how good are they lol. Chears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 they're very good frames. prett short. light, a bit flexy. they're hard to come by, especially in good condition.. it's very hard to find one that isn't cracked and rewelded, and if you buy one, you'll probably be third or fourth owner of it.

Tony Harrison Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Maybe Kleivard has got some to sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 i think he has sold most of his, or maybe all. he rides something long, low and silver now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Maybe he's after Pete Wrights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Maybe he's after Pete Wrights? ← Yep thats right, what condition is it in? because im going to buy it if its as good as he says it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich4130 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 we don't know what condition it is in. you have to ask him. ← Haha, I wouldn't, he probably doesnt know himself, although his late wifes godfather probably was the first to produce aluminium to make bike frames... It's had dents filled in the downtube, search for previous topics on it if you are serious, be careful. ;) Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy elephants Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 they are this good: ------> <------ I personally wouldnt buy one, because although they may ride nicely, there are not many around these days, and it might just be me, but that would say it won't be lasting much longer?!?! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Petes Crescent is in good condition, no dents, cracks. I rode it at the DJ ride and I really liked it. I'm not just saying that 'cause Pete's my mate. I honestly do like it :P :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Is Pete a good mate? Why do people fill dents? It's rather like painting over rust. The problem is still there, why pretend it isn't. Seems too many people are more worried about how their bike looks than how it rides. Paul Thomson used to ride a Crescent and I think he was pleased with it. Yeah, quite short by todays standards (1030ish). Hawzee had one too didn't he.

Waynio Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 LMAO!!!! if there ever was a true opinion on these frames if you weigh over 8 stone dont buy one.................... they are way too light and someone says flexy???? flexy due to them being stupid light and literally ...... happy. to keep your front line of teeth buy something that is stronger and more durable. the likes of Kleivard (such a silky smooth rider) doesnt break them as he knows what he is doing, he wont batter the frames as much as most people on here will.

Janson Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 have you actually ridden a crescent ilions for a longer period of time? they're actually really durable. flexy does not mean snap-happy (as you said about u6). mine broke, but then again, it was three or four years old, ridden by at least two people. Gurra has ridden his ilions for THREE years now, and the previous owner ragged the frame t'fook, and it's still intact. It's the 2000 model, which means 4 1/2 years old now, and still not a crack! Kleivard breaks his frames too.. A lot of them. Just 'cos he's smooth doesn't mean he puts loads of pressure in the frame. And for the record, Kleivard rides the french C frame now, with Kleivard stickers. :D For the average rider though, they're perfectly fine. They're not as snap happy as the Echo frames of the same generation, even though the Crescent is lighter. It's the perfect BIU comp frame.
