I want to upgrade my silverback michigan frame to a merida 96 or spark frame.

 

Do anyone have advice on whitch frame and weight on the frames.My silverback currently weigh in at 9.6kg what will the increase in weight be.

I know have been saving up for nearly a year.

 

Do you have any other suggestions.

[TokenFreak]

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

Will have some of them early in the new year. Will see if i can get some more info on them for you in the meantime

[BUTLER]

Thanks we will chat again.

The spark is advertised as the lightest full sus frame ever...

 

And the 96 is awesome from all i've heard

Frame boet,read

[AndreZA]

doesn't the scalpel come in that price range?

 

 

[Paul Hunter]

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

[Dirty Twin]

Easy now boys.

 

What Dual Sus frames come in under 2 Kg's? That would be interesting to see.

 

Mine comes in at 1850grams 

[BUTLER]

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.

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

[gparsons]

Niterider, that is a very wise suggestion. R28K on a frame, eish...
