[cooper666]

Hi
Anyone and everyone help me out.
I am looking at a new frame anyone have information on new frames?
I need a frame for street,dirt and park.
I don't hav a price range.Im not fussed on a size. It must have internal headset, and NOT be US BB.
I need a new frame as im riding a old frame just need a upgrade pretty much.
Just need people views and experiences or stories about frames.

how about sum info???

price??
what your using it for??
parts going on it??
size???

[Trailst4r]

If i'd had to buy a new frame today, i'd choose a 21" frame, with a small Chainstay Length ~ 13.75"
Mid or Spanis bb is standard today, won't find any newer frames without that.
Integrated Headset either.

There are so many Frames you can take, hard to say.
light & good frames imao are: FIt s3 + hawk, S&m LAF, Wtp Millar lite, Metal Rebell Contender, Macneil Bibi, Superstar Light my Fire,....

Best thing would be you would read through several shops and chose a few frames you like and then ask again.

FIT ED, thats my vote. You will have to live without brakes but you will get over it.

thanks guys, yeah i was looking at the Miller Lite frame.
Anyone with the pros and cons???

[melbourne rider]

id say a "the take" they look mad.

or a sunday. :rolleyes:

thanks guys, yeah i was looking at the Miller Lite frame.
Anyone with the pros and cons???

The old millar lite frame was really light (20.7" ~2,2kg), and the new 2007 frame is lighter than that. All bearings are included(headset + mid bb).

I just own a wtp and the quality is good.

edit: If i got the money, i'd prefer a "hand-welded" frame from s&m(fit s3,fit ed, LAF , metal rebel contender) and no taiwan frame^^.

[kona451]

i no what everyone else has sed but a few more would be mutiny burlish,take one ruben,fit ed,volume 81 or deathwish 3 and yes thats to name a couple of lite frames

[fair_enough69]

wat a take one ruben???? sounds very old......
unless you mean terrible one ruben.....

dont get a millar lite ,, my mate had one and everything just felt so wrong, then he got a fit series 3 and it soooo much nicer (didnt change any parts just the frame)

I own a sunday 20tt and i couldnt be happier... and im around 180cm tall.21tt is waayyyyy to long i rekon,, unles your very big... but that all personal prefenece.


Personally i think you should get a superstar light my fire, thos things rock!! and there abit cheaper then all the other frames.
But if you have endless money get a FBM stairmaster.

[mtberdave]

if you have endless money get and s and m stricker

they are awsome

are one of the sputnic frames

or the proper proclaimer is very nice

Fit eds are heavy.

Look at fit s3, fit hawk, simple enigma, mutiny burlish, superstar light my fire, FBM stairmaster, eastern grim reaper etc.

[rhysrhysbaby]

i love how my fly pantera2 rides, but have ridden very few bmx's to compare it to.
if iwas to buy another frame today i would be looking at the superstar's because i really like hte inbuilt seat clamp, its not an 'added extra' like the easterns look.
or maybe a sunday because i like their team.

[/\/\3qq3/\/\]

Ive got an Eastern Grim Reaper I rekon is pritty gud plus it really light.
Internal headset and a Spanish BB.

[cooper666]

Yeah,
I have heard alot about the Grim reapers.
How much did you pay and where did you get it from?
And has anyone heard where you can get the titanium Grim Reapers??

thank you
Coops

[/\/\3qq3/\/\]

I payed I think it was $500 or $550 and the headset was only $35 or something
I bought it from Belrose Bikes (Sydney)
The tit version is a rip off it's over $2000 but the good side is that it only weights 500 grams!!!
Need anymore info just pm me

[matt24]

I just ordered my sunday frame 20.5inch and breakless, they weigh in at around 2kg, not sure on exact price as im gettin it for less through the bike shop i work at, i think there around the 650mark.....lifetime Guarantee, cant go wrong :D

Your an idiot if you are even slightly thinking about possibly buying a ti grim reaper!

[/\/\3qq3/\/\]

I have to agree with that if you are that's stupid.
Just get the normal grim reaper instead. As i said it's worth it

[nicko_mx]

Id sujest the new Van Homan Fit frame he kills it at everything so you know its a sweet all rounder or the Macneil Gary Young 2 if you wanna save some money

Oi, enough with the gravedigs. Just a tip, people on this site don't like you posting in very old threads, especially if you don't have a good reason to do so.
