Endohopper Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) Of the 2 , I'd go for Base's TA26 . OK , they're clearly unpopular in thes days of ultra-hip long , low and silver machines , but for the money , it represents great value . The frame is somewhat short , making it ideally suited to street / spinny / hoppy riding and is reasonably light , once the supplied bashplate has been discarded . Image is partially to show a basic build up , and partially 'cause I can't resist an opportunity to show off (Y) . They are available from THIS SHOP .

emery Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 For sure go with the base as the word mission means trouble lol. So yer go with that frame or if you can get a better a frame off ebay or here for the same price as you could with the base.

craigjames Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 have you cracked it yet? is it stopping you from progressing any further? what sort of riding do you do? i mean yes the base may be a slightly better frame than you already have but if your existing frame isnt holding you back or broken dont fix it!! keep saving until it is broken or you just get better than the bike then you'll be able to buy something better than a base. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 2003 T-Bird, and slowly started upgrading bits when they broke or whatever, I decided to get a 2004 T-pro frame off eBay for £80. Not that there was anything majorly wrong with the T-Bird, but I got it anyway. And I'm glad I did, My riding improved a great deal after a few days riding it. It just feels so much nicer to ride then my old T-Bird did. I say go for it. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Go for it, if it is stopping you progressing in trials then I would say, why not? That frames look really nice and streety, if you're into that style, you should be really with a reefer lol I've never seen the Base 'Mr. Woo' but the TA26 is really nice, go for it Mat (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) fair enough if the frame is cheap enough or you really want to change go for it, maybe i'm just tight!! but hey in the end its down to you, do you need to change, can you afford to change and is it really gonna make that much of a difference to your riding? another thing its already been said that the base is quite a short frmae, great for street and spins and stuff, do you ride that sort of trials?

watto Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 i used to have a base ta 26 and it felt just right for me the mr woo is more of a jump frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
