CurtisRider Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 1300, cripes-you have plenty to play with!perhaps look at a dual disc monty? ive seen a few secondhand for around the 6-800 mark, so that means you could upgrade it with the spare cash to an eno/profile/whatever you feel you need?

mr_team Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi take a look on tartybikes as they have full builds of all the deng range frames also could build you an xtp up if you ask.Hope this helpsBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeNNy Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 What about the 20" Aorta frame? 1010 wheelbase, looks quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewannnn Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 you cant go wrong with an echo team, strong as f***, built in brake booster, bash plate, not too expensive, light, overall Reliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I'd go for the echo team short if it were me - if only cos the frame costs half as much as either the monty or the koxx which gives you another £250odd to spend on the wheels.

granty Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 yea i would get the echo team short i have the long one and it is so strong and looks lush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_chisholm Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) Hey, I think you should get something lower market like a zona zip. Just incase you dont like a mod bike in the end.I have one and i find that it is just perfect.But then again when you have all that money to spend something pricey and nice sounds great.Get a lower costing frame and give it a great spec,for examlpezona frameisis cranks and bbecho chain ringprofile hub rearhope hub frontnice rimsnice bar and stemsome 05 maggiesecho easy forksgood set of pads try all tyresonza vp 12 pedalsand there you go you have a very nice bike! hope i was of help to you cheersjaf Edited March 3, 2006 by mr_chisholm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I think you should get something lower market like a zona zip. Just incase you dont like a mod bike in He was after something short though i think - a zip is 1045 - short XTPs and montys are around the 1000 mark.
