I would like 2nd hand or brand new. Price is around £200. What ideas you got?i dont think theres any point with that budget.just upgrade your current frame, but to be honest from what iv seen of your riding i doubt you will need to spend any money (no offence meant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gu_lew Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 as you know i really dont think you should go to stcok but its up to you anyways i think you should look for a cheap t-rex or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 linkSomething like this would be an alright step up form your mod. Nice and short so not too much to handle. Seems to be around the same sort of budget too.Just have a look around on ebay and things and in the for sale section... no advertising in here obviously.There was a coust for sale a few weeks back, £200 with carbon bars, burns, and hope wheels front and back. BARGAIN!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 My mate is selling a T-Rex, like your mates. But better, it has Hope Hubs on Try-All rims, all sorted out.Add him on MSN if you want, but it isn't finished yet, he needs one or two bits to finish it off, he knicked them to put on his new bike.joebeswick@hotmail.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3jae Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Just like to say there is no "BEST" 26" bike, its all down to personal choice, everybody has different taste as to what they like in bike, but for £200 you could pick your self up somthing nice in the forsale section!!, get posting get your self validated and stick a thread up in the main forum.
