What is a good price then? < R 2000 ?

BUMP..... Anybody......?

I can get a 2008 Raleigh RM 7.0 frame (large) for R 2200 from a friend. Brand new. My friend bought the bike for the components. Is it a good price....and is it a good frame. How strong is the rear carbon tail. Anybody with bad experiences with this frame. Raleigh told me only a 4 year warranty on this frame...should I read something in this? Regards.

Dirty Twin TX for the links awesome. Don't seem to get the kg's of the Sport....Lanza is 1.45kg frame only. Where can i get the kg's? Absalon rides an Orbea Alma (Carbon)...not Alu. Big difference! Also, how would an Orbea Sport compare to (my other choices): 1. Giant XTC 2. Felt Q920 3. Silverback Sierra 4. Scott Scale 60 5. Raleigh RM 5.0? Frame only comparison please (No components!).

What do you guys (or girls) think of Orbea MTB frames... I'm currently looking at the Orbea Lanza (about R 4200) or Orbea Sport ( about R 2600). Prices for frames only. Needs to be 20". What is the real benefit of 7005 Al tubing over 6061 Al tubing....besides weight. Any other hardtail frames in this price range for consideration? Maybe cheaper or better? Cheers
