Which Frame Should I Buy

[Warren van Rensburg]

Hi guys

 

Im looking for a hardtail frame to replace my cracked Raleigh Marathon frame. I have found a GT Zaskar Pro frame from around 2008 for R1000 or a Raleigh Nomad frame for R650. WHich one should I buy? This may seem obvious to some but I thought I would ask anyway. See pics below. Also, can anyone tell me what year the GT frame is because the guy at the store couldn't. Thanks a lot in advance

Weigh differences? The Raleigh frame IS red...

Anyone know the year of the GT? Trying to find it online but can't find anything on it

I am pretty sure that GT is pre 2008, but it still gets my vote
