Oh look' date=' a pragmatist Or maybe just stop mucking about and buy a Morewood. If you break that you're a special case.[/quote'] I would love to, just don't have 18 k lying around for a Morewood race frame Dang, gotta start saving.

No, it wont fit. The design is different.

I have an iDrive on my alu marathon and did manage to break the flex plate thingy but it happened after I started jumping the bike. For big jumps go buy the Force. It is also iDrive but has a big, strong, heavy steel thingy instead. The marathon is a low travel suspension bike designed for marathon's not bombing downhill over big drop offs.

Sorry for the ignorance but is the inbred a steel or alu bike? How much does the frame weigh?

Hi TZmtb' date=' I'll be putting the Inbreds on the website latter today, now that we have finally got a delivery date, unfortunately it will be the end of next month before we will have them - sorry for the massive, massive delay! There will 456 Inbred 26ers, Summer Season 456 26ers, Inbred 29ers, BRG 18" 29er Scandals, 18" 26er black annodised Scandals, 29er Rigid Carbon Forks, Planet X Saddles in black and white, On One Big Nose saddles and On One Inbred Man saddles and more. Best news I've had all week: LCL shipment successfully booked. Vessel : Uni-Accord voy. 0878-279S Etd : 05-Oct-2009 Eta : 31-Oct-2009 [/quote'] Thanks Kiwi, I am in no big rush, doing research for a christmas present for myself I am partial to the looks of the scandal so now it is just a question of 26 or 29.

I don't see an Inbred on the Planet-x website. I am looking for a lightish bike for riding half marathons and marathons. I don't do much jumping. I have a full suss GT marathon and am looking for a hard tail to go with it. Where can I see pricing etc. for these bikes?

Thanks MD, haven't seen that model yet...

Hey Mampara, I may be way off here but somewhere while reading your threads I saw that you ride an On-One. Do you? If so, which one and how do you rate it? I have been looking at these on the net but have problems with the low sticker price of the frames. Can they be that good at that price? I am interested in the alu scandal. Does anyone have any experience with this bike? Can I put my XT groupset and Fox 32 120 shock on it without hassles? Thanks, Ray

could be' date=' on his profile pic on FACEBOOK he is nexto a lion[/quote'] well, it could have been worse. He could have been next to an Aussie or a province player.

And how strong is that frame?? built for extra hard riding If you manage to break a GT Avalanche frame you are doing something truly extraordinary. Those things are bullet proof alu. Nothing like the carbon...

We need to justify stuff? The only person I need to justify spending big tom on a DS to is my wife and I fixed her built in cupboards which gave me quite a bit of leeway...

Last time I checked Moran was a porn star. (please don't ask how I know this) What's HIS screen name?

because they are not allowed to access pedophile websites from work. Although the reasoning ability of these kids seems to be pre school. These are boys who like to type the words **** and exakertaly and think it somehow sets them apart from the rest of society. Do these idiots think owning a car sets them apart. How do they think I get my bikes to the races? What about the fleet of bakkies I use on my farm? I pay road tax for each and every one of them. Hey, I drive Nissan. I like talk about it you ****. I drop cogs. Me smash little bicycle.

They have CAR forums? Why?

I have a GT Marathon 1.0 and it's a great bike. I know everyone thinks their bike is the best but... It's light, around 12.5 kg with great front (Fox float R 120) and rear shock (Fox rp23). Most of the components are XT except for the hubs and shifters but the LX shifters work well enough. The geometry is tight and nippy, more race orientated than trail or all mountain. I didn't like the tyres so I changed them for a set of Tubeless TT larsens. No, the frame can't take a bottle so if you really have to be XC cool and refuse to wear a hydro pack then get one of those under seat bottle set ups but then again, if XC cool is totally what you are into that space will probably be taken up by a slightly shredded tube taped to the seat post where the saddle bag should be

I am much faster on my 12 kg FS than on my 15 kg HT. Much! Not because its a FS so much but also because it's lighter and everything works much better on the more expensive bike. The gears shift smoothly and the chain doesn't leap off as much, the shock is way superior and smooths out the bumps properly and the hydraulic disc brakes give me confidence to go much faster down hill. And did I mention that it's 2.5 kg lighter? The whole package just feels more nippy and precise underneath me.

Bump. Anybody??

Thanks. In that case he will probably just keep the frames. He isn't desperate for the money and would only sell at a fair deal.

He isn't thinking about selling yet, when he does I will get him to join the hub and post pics and other info on the classifieds forum. A little history on the frames then: we both started MTB riding at the beginning of this year and had very little idea as of what bikes to buy. I bought the GT Marathon (which I love) and he bought the Force. We got both bikes cheaper as they were last years models even though they were brand new. He bought the Force because he liked the way it looked. After riding for five months we have a clearer picture of what we like to ride and we both prefer the lighter, smaller travel and generally tighter feeling bikes for the type of riding we do. He wants to build up a more "race orientated" full suss and sell the more "all mountain" Force. Hence the possible sale. The hard tail was bought on a whim because he also got it at a good price as it is an '07 model though brand new. This bike hasn't a scratch on it. He wants to strip the components off one of these bikes and put them on a new Trek full suss frame and keep the other bike as a back up. And so he was wondering, more or less, what these frames are worth second hand and if they are even worth selling.

A mate of mine wants to sell one of 2 frames but has no idea of what they are worth. I am hoping that one of you could give me a ball park figure so he can make up his mind. The first is a Trek Elite 9.9 (red) carbon frame. The frame is an '07 but was purchased new this year. And the other is an 2008 aluminum GT Force 1.0 (blue) with a Fox RP23 back shock. Both frames are in excellent (near new) condition.
