Synergy Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) ok i WAS going to buy a zona zip frame and put the rest of my bike parts on it as i recently got paid £315HOWEVER i do owe my dad about £400 for my uber computer so he says i have to give him money (not all) but maybe about £200 which is fare enough apart from the facts he got my hopes up.in march i have my birthday and also get a loan from college about £500.so the question is do you think i should go for my riding needs and buy a 2nd hand frame for like £120 ORbuy some lovely parts wait untill march before i buy a frame and then fix my bike up good and proper with a gu frame opinions or other ways to solve this problem are much appreciated.also where can i find purple cranks?

Onza Kieron Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 I agree with him, go for the buy parts now and wait, i've just done it to my bike and its such a good idea. I wish i had more money to do it more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nb88 Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 2nd hand is the way!the only think ive bought on my bike from new is my BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 so the question is do you think i should go for my riding needs and buy a 2nd hand frame for like £120 OR New Zips that you wanted to get are only £30 more though? Well, £39... So I'd go for that, personally. My Zip seems to out-ride every other frame I've tried. But yeah, not much difference price wise, but you know the history of the zip at least over a second-hand frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MesaMan Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Perhaps he is a spoilt little brat. That was the impression given.Yea sometimes I forget that lots of people on here are kids....."who's getting what bought for them for Xmas?" Etc NOTHING, I have to buy my own parts/frames/bikes.Calling your dad an asshole, even if a step dad, bites dude. Hell I get pretty pissed off with mine sometimes but wouldn't publicly humiliate him.A £500 loan from college? In my day (lol sounds sad) we went to college to learn so we could get a decent job, not casue they pay more than the doll. Lucky sod.

Synergy Posted December 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 nah i actually dont get on with my father at all really and he isnt step dad, he just seems not to speak to me that much as i dnt want to be a mechanic or that etc. but thats not really the point and i do appreciate him lending me money for the computer but i am paying him back.
