TokenFreak Posted December 18, 2008 Share If thats the way you wana go and want to save about have the price you can go with my S3 frameset. Dont have too much info on it yet tho http://www.axman.com.tw/Archive/_eng/products/S3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTLER Posted December 18, 2008 Share Ok let see what you have I want a frame that looks similar to the scott or 96. Must have a remote lock-out on the rear shox and must weigh below 2kg. Let me know if you have one and when you will have more info on it. Thanks Jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoe Posted December 18, 2008 Share The spark is advertised as the lightest full sus frame ever... And the 96 is awesome from all i've heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Hunter Posted December 19, 2008 Share OK....let me explain myself. Which 96er frame is R28 000 as you get the carbon 5000-D or the carbon 3500-D or the HFS 3000-D and HFS 1000-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Twin Posted December 19, 2008 Share Easy now boys. What Dual Sus frames come in under 2 Kg's? That would be interesting to see. Mine comes in at 1850grams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTLER Posted December 19, 2008 Share Is that with remote lock-out or not. The only merida frame I can get but that will only be next year is the 5000D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niterider Posted December 19, 2008 Share Don't waste your time with expensive carbon silliness. Get a Giant Anthem X1 and spend the rest on a holiday or a spare set of wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gparsons Posted December 20, 2008 Share Niterider, that is a very wise suggestion. R28K on a frame, eish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
