Ryanpmb Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Heya everybody So I was paging through a friend's 1001 bikes (gotta get my own!) and somehow the thought popped into my head of getting hold of a cx steel frame and mod-fitting it, sort of like what MTBaaisikilist wants to do, but cx frame. Are they even available, and what would they cost? Not retro, but here's mine. Cotic X steel CX... with mod kit. So it can be done . You can get older frames (older SwissCross for example).

IMG_0934 copy.jpg Eish, that got me considering making my SS a Monstercross again. May "need" to get a disk fork first though
divernick Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I purchased this Hansom Super Prestige recently and would like to know if anyone has any information on it? From what I can see the frame is made of Aluminium (Didn't know that Hansom made Aluminium frames). I have tried Google with little success and there doesn't seem to be any specific name other than Hansom.IMG-20141021-WA0010.jpg I've never seen an ally Hansom, so I'd suspect it's something else with Hansom decals.

IMG_0934 copy.jpg Very cool My idea is to get a good frame that needs a little bit of work (i'm a novice mechanic) so I can clean it up and do a custom paint jobbie, then fit it out as and when I can. Obviously has to be a cx frame with mounts for disc brakes. Just need to find one...

Mounts for disc and canti's. Edited October 26, 2014 by Ryanpmb
