Pinnacle Frame - Just bought.

mfereborn

I've just bought a new frame for eBay at the total price of £85 delivered, i'm quite impressed by it and the price i got it for, it's going to be my project for when i go to Uni, although i hope to ride it well before then.

What do you think?

I love the colour although im considering powdercoat in white. What i've bought is the frame from one of these:

And my frame: Pinnacle Evolution 2.0 frame.


I admit i know little about these bikes but knowing the value of the actual bikes themselves i couldnt pass it up!

Now for the build.

Yep it was poorly advertised the seller only had 3 feedback, and i had to search the model by myself so with a little bit of work ive got a bargain i think! should make a very nice machine for the university races i hope to enter!

Only problem is i dont have any dimensions such as steerer tube etc so i cant buy any parts until the frame is here

Can i just ask... the frame comes standard with 100mm fox forks, now i could get away with 100mm quite easily but i'd quite like a little more travel

How will i determine or what do you think i could get away with?

In an ideal world id like a 130mm fork but i severely doubt thats an option, so im thinking 110 or similar.

100mm will be fine for racing, if i were you i'd check on the pinnacle webby and see what the frame is warrentied for, if it will go longer then fit some adjustable forks, something like a fox 32 talas, or revelations.

Ideal, hadn't even considered adjustables tbh!

I'll go check their site.

You got a nice frame there.

It was actually my mate who sold that to you. If I remember correctly if you want to keep the warranty valid on the frame the max travel is 120mm.

Ah excellent im glad thats the case then! Im only going to increase the travel if for some reason i can get some forks cheaper in that length than 100mm.
