Ryan Blackwell Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 well building a bike up is always more fun in my opinion.plus you could get the exact spec your after (depending on cash) it really depends on what your after mate.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelistic Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 If you don't want to build it yourself, you can get a custom build from Tartybikes I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryin_trials Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Ok, so i'm going for the build it myself route. I think.So whats the best starting frame? I've heard from some that 24" is good but what about a 20" or maybe 26" or does it really matter??Any recommendations on a good starter frame that will take a bit of a beating but not too pricey??Thanks for all your help so far guys, Its really helping, and makes this an awesome web site!!

Muel Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 What kind of riding do you do, what sort of build are you?I am short, shit and will ride anything, so i ride a second hand T-PRO.But if you are big and ride anything, go 26"Personally I would only go 24 if you ride street ONLY, the 24uk is a really nice bike but is a bit heavy for natural/hoppy trials, whereas the only 24" 'normal' bike is the onza zoot, which might be a bit cheap for the built you want.I ride 20 because I am learning so they are good for that and easier for me to throw around, but my mate is bigger than me and rides 26.Its really up to you but try and have a long, proper go on each bike in your area and analyse the good and bad of each.
