What should I do...?

Patrick Bateman · 12-23-2003, 01:33 AM

Ok, I've done a few threads about what frame to get but I need your advice. I have the chance to get a Le Toy 3 with Profile cranks,bb and ring and chainguide. and for an extra 30 a new Pig headset, problem is I don't have all the money unless i borrow some $$$ or should I wait and get a new .243 wihtout anything? I'll be running a 7" DC but any other ideas would be much appreciated.

I had a jack flash RAD, and it was amazing. The geometry was perfect, the graphics were superb, and it was just beefy without being heavy. www.unrealcycles.com has the biggest selection of HT's I've ever seen in one place, and the owner Ben knows his stuff. Check them out, you'll probably find some other options there.

Although the letoy is a great deal, if you dont really WANT that frame then it doesnt make sense to get UNLESS you get it and flip the frame for money towards a .243, like was mentioned. Also, how are the parts? are they in good shape and hows the frame? Where do you plan to ride it? If its only urban than maybe the Letoy is a good idea. If your on the trail, dirt, than i hardly think it will feel better than a .243 I just built up a .243 with a 7" superT and must say it is probably the nicest (looks, welds), most resilent ( very nice, smooooth riding frame, even at almost 8 pounds), most versatile frames ( without a ton of suspension you can do so much more) i have owned and its a great value even at full retail. IF you have a bike now and want what the .243 is abouit, then "run what you brung"

and wait it out because in the end what YOU do on the bike is more important than what the BIKE does.Think about what you want out of a frame and make your decision even if it involves waiting- coming from someone who took up lots of "great" deals...
