So I have my 140mm travel trail bike and don't get me wrong , I LOVE IT but I am thinking of building a dirt jump bike so I can practice manuals, bunny hops and just have a general mess-a-bout bike, So long story short i need you help. . . . . AGAIN !
I have a few frame ideas but as always I am unsure on what to go for :oops: , I will be building it my self , it has to be single speed and 24inch wheels other than that
I am not really bothered oh and I will buy almost everything second hand to keep the cost as low as possible as it will just be a play bike so it can (and will !) get battered and scratched, the frames below are just ideas so suggestion would be helpful
The frames i have looked at so far are
: Charge Iron (Friend has one and i am a big fan!)
: Cove Sanchez (number one on the list but very pricey)
So what do you think??, all advise is very helpful no matter how important!
Thanks Laurence.

If wanting to keep it cheap. look at CRC for the frame deals. Can't see the point in getting an expensive branded frame.
Or even a full bike:

Identity, fire eye, dmr. brave, spank, da bomb, azonic all spring to mind. The frame will probably be the cheap bit, forks (if you want suspension), wheels and cranks are gonna be the budget breaker on this sort of build.-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:0 -
Im currently doing a similar build and have so far got:
giant stp frame in white £80
rockshox pike inblack £80
halo sas and spin doctor pro in white £90 (26)
All of these parts can be bought dirt cheap off ebay especially the frame and wheels. Hope this helps0 -
I don't know if you're interested, but I've been tempted to buy a BMX for this purpose, for quite some time.0

The wheels maybe 20inch, but the frame geometry determines who it fits.0

Hi,
I am also trying to build a dirt jumping bike but and I can't find a decent frame for a decent price.. But today I found this on eBay, I'm new to the biking world so I'm not sure if it's even worth buying.. So I figured I'd post it anyway..
