Frost Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 HI,I'm in an opportunity to purchase a planet x ali bongo frame and superlight planet x fork. However I know that this frame and fork has been ridden hard. The previous owner has stated that he has taken some 8 foot drops on this and being fairly new to all this do you think that it would be alright. He says that its in good condition, normal wear marks but no cracks, etc. I've not been able to see it. I wanted to know if 350 is a good deal, and from those who have ridden hard how do you think its held up so far. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 no. you could buy a brand new ashton frame and a top of the range pair of forks for 350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frost Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Curious what you would suggest for a frame then in place of the planet X's one I listed above. I'm looking at running 26inch wheels. I guess being that I'm just starting out I was hoping to find something reasonably priced. I know frames can get pretty expensive. I appreciate the advice guys.Also that 350 prices I listed was in USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
