mission reefer, just put halo combats on them and new crank, and handlebar as i snapped it doing downhill

that was sold for like 100 quid because thats how much my new bike was going for

saracen mad 04 i think (the black one) second hand, upgraded rear wheel, brakes, bars cranks and pedals was going to keep the frame but ian decided to stand on the rear triangle and flatten it fatty :P

bout a onza t-rex whole build and basically changed everything apart from the headset, mech, bb, front inner tube, everything else i changed, this was swapped for a bt raven 5 stripped silver

got this bt around june time this year and i love it to be honest only changed a few things rear wheel stem and grips thats about it, may treat my self to a new frame though and build it up over the year

cheers rick

Kona Muni Mula - Head tube fell off after 10 months

Mission Trials Pro - Cracked at front gusset

Mission Trials Pro - got this one as a replacement but moved to London a few months later and left it at home.

Identiti Judge - Rode this for about a month before getting rid as I didn't like the feel of it.

Pashley 26Mhz - Swapped the judge for this. Awesome bike but unfortunately the brake mounts fell off. :(

Echo ES2 - Only lasted about 6 months. Cracked at the chainstay/dropout weld.

Echo ES2 - Replacement frame lasted around a year, can't remember where it failed.

Planet X Zebdi - Didn't like it, sold it after a couple of months.

Koxx Levelboss 1065 - Great wee frame, kept it for about a year before deciding I needed a change.

Zoo Pitbull - Another nice wee frame. Kept it for close to a year before selling it on.

GU Typhoon (26") - Rode it for a few months then sold it on. Couldn't adjust to the High BB.

Ashton Justice - Another frame that I only kept for a short time. Have grown too fond of longer frames.

Zona Zenith - Current frame and currently liking it a lot.

I got the Kona in the summer of 99 and have been riding on and off ever since then. Hard to believe that I have been riding this long. I still suck :lol:
