doppelganger Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Hey guysAfter some thought I have decided to buy a 26" DS frame and use my parts from my current 26" HT. Is there anybody on here that have connections to get frames at good prices? I have tried a few shops and they are just not interested to get back to me with prices etc. I am considering a Merida 96, however I will look at other brands too. I have been following the Classifieds but no Large frames ever seem to make it on here. Any help?
doppelganger Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 check obike.co.za Thanx, I see they only have 2 Cannondale frames though...
Tubeless Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 What is the expected price of a semi-decent frame?
doppelganger Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 Haven't made up my mind in terms of budget, that's why I am hoping to get a few ideas and then take it from there...
Mackie Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 What is the expected price of a semi-decent frame?Usually about 2 grand more than you can afford at any particular moment
Bolla Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 http://www.rapide.co.za/pMOSSO%20652%20XC%20PRO%20FRAME/Mosso-652-XC-PRO-Frame.aspx#.T9ioXFL0_yU Have a look at these frames. Don't know how good they are.
Hairy Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I might well have a, wait for it, "as new" Spesh Epic Marathon should you be interested. Buddy bought it for the parts when it was a few months old and he has never ridden the frame following the purchase as he is a medium. The frame has subsequently been living at my home and his as of late and looking for a home. Pics attached, should you be interested then let me know.
Hairy Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Ok, buddy says the frame is up for sale ... looking at R7000.00? Headset and seatpost clamp included.

As nice as that frame might be...I am pretty confident that it will cost a small fortune...?

Hairy Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Cape Town, should you be really interested I am sure he can take the frame to an lbs of your choice to verify the condition for you. Let me know, when you know, then I will let him know if there might be anything else you might want to know. Know what I mean?
