hey, i am looking for a new frame for dirt/trials etc.. and was looking at a Norco Ryde and am just wondering if any one would happen to know the retail on one (frame only). and does any one know what they are like strength, geomatry etc... because i have only ever seen them on websites :? ...
thanks for your help fellas :)

you can't buy them frame only & they retail for $800 - 1k complete.

They are pretty sick bikes (same as 02 125).

as if they are heavy, theyre in the middle :P . i dunno if you could get the frame only from retailers but theres been a couple on farkin that have been going as frame only. also they have a bmx bbshell, incase you didnt know but you can get adapters to change to mtb.

yeah, i thought they might be pretty strong cause there pretty heavily gusseted :D .. yeah i have 'enquired' to one of the ones on farkin and on a 2002 avatni hot dog, which spec wise look pretty similiar except head angles. does any one know of a bash guard that fix those BMX style cranks that come on the Ryde? cause they dont have tose bolt arm thingos? sorry bout the long response i tend to blab on a bit :cry:

why would you spend that on adapters when you could get some 3pce tubulars for like $150??? if you got the advantage of a bmx bottom bracket why not put bmx cranks in it.... :?
