PappaBear Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Ok, this might sound very stupid...... but what difference does a frame really make? Everybody is raving about Morewood XC frames the last couple of weeks.... what is that about? I am not ripping Morewood or anything like that, this argument is for all bikes.... Does one frame really differ that much from the next? I ride a Mongoose Canaan, prior to that a cheap hardtail, so I don't have lots of frame experience.... just wondering..... Please give your 2c......

zeepee Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 If you dont think it makes a difference, why did you change from a cheap hartail to your Mongoose?
AndreZA Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 If you are not a racer and have alot of experience you will not note the difference. You might note that the ride is softer or harder or it bobs when you pedal but not the stiffness issue oh and maybe weight difference. Us mortals will just play along and spend our money on stuff that looks good and will impress our peers.

Spinnekop Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I think frames tell a lot about their owners.... Raleigh = Fat FunriderTrek = Lance wannabeMorewood = MTBer with too much money - probibly boldCannondale = Full blooded racerSpecialized = Infurior complex - constantly needs to know he is special(ized) Door = me

PappaBear Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 BMC = Style freak (needs to feel unique) Mongoose = Poor (must get best value for money!)
