James-M Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Hi, I have searched for information about these, but as its further on I would like to know if people have had more experiance with these. Well, I want a new frame, and someone I sort of know is selling one. He's selling it for £80, and I was just wondering if it would be worth it. Ive heard alot about them snapping, but ive also heard that it is only a few that snap. At the moment i'm not that sure what to do. Surely they would only snap if they've been ridden heavily or but someone doing crazy stuff on it. The frame seems in reasonably good condition, no cracks, and only minor scratches, so what would you recommend? Thanks for any info.(Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any info.(Y) they are a really nice frame to ride, fairly nice on the back wheel but you will have to face up to the fact that most of these frames don't last much longer than a year with out cracking somewhere. but for 80 quid you'd be lucky to find anything better. I'd go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Go for it- nice, light frames, and for £80 you cant go wrong if it goes after a year, besides its always nice to have a change every now and then (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James-M Posted October 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 It's already been ridden for year and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 You could spend £30-40 more and get a second hand Pure or Levelboss, which would be a much safer idea. You don't hear of many of them breaking. Plus they are probably better frames geometry-wise anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea, you may as well spend the little extra and get a frame that isnt going to break soon and that has better geometry and so rides better. There was a 1065 echo pure for sale on here for £100, looked brand new as well. Have a look, you might be lucky. (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
