Fs Frame

konabiker7 · 03-20-2004, 09:01 AM

Ok I am trying to decide between these 2 frames or something different?:
2002 Super 8
http://www.pinkbike.com/modules/buys...iew&image=9553
OR
2002 Azonic eliminator
http://www.pinkbike.com/modules/buys...iew&image=4657
got any other good choices for me besides these 2?

right now I am kind of leaning toward the azonic because it is a better deal and it is REALLY clean, like NO scratches @ all

i think you should save up a little more and go to a dealer so you can test the frame before you buy it so if you dont like dont buy it. and also you will get the warrenty

yeah both frames are sick but i agree with tom go around first and check who has those frame and test them out so you like it and stuff. make sure you arent going to have any problems in the future...
Good luck man

hope you get one soon tho
N* is gunna be pimp this summer man

as i said also the off ramp is having a sale 30 % off most of there stuff
go there and test out a big hit if you are interested in it.
mayb you can get a really good deal on it.

i dont really want to buy a BRAND NEW bike right now or any day soon, i'd rather buy a used frame for cheap like these... that guy w/ the super 8 is offering me $450 right now i think... i am not sure though, these are both GREAT frames and incredably good deals. help me out guys!!

Im pretty sure the azonic frame is made in taiwan and i know that santa cruz is made in the USA.I had an azonic evolution and the headtube snapped off.The frame was only 3 months old.Ive had my santa cruz bullit now for almost 4 years and still not even a crack.I just think that american made frames are the best way to go.

konabiker7 · 03-20-2004, 04:56 PM

i hear azonic just makes kinda weak hardtails, but my friends that ride the eliminater say it is extremely beefy and havent had ANY problems yet!
iono though, this is really a tough decision, let me see what more people say about it.

i dont know about that frame, is it beefy? cause the older diamondback frames are weak as hell, iono about urs though.

konabiker7 · 03-21-2004, 07:19 AM

hey tom, if i bought a frame new, i'd prolly end up spendin like over $1500 for a friggin frame, it would just be to hard to do these days and for the kind of frame i want

"(JUST FRAME, HAS NO BACK SHOCK)"

Also, I've heard of those breaking shocks because the path for compression isn't straight :06:

Nemesis Gnat · 03-23-2004, 08:41 AM

I definatly suggest against the super 8, my bro has one and it breaks all the time. You could always go Iron Horse. Realy good quality bikes for cheap and new! I loove mine.

konabiker7 · 03-23-2004, 11:59 AM

no thanks, i definetly dont want an ironhorse...
kinda leaning toward the santa cruz right now, they have crash replacement and its just alot better. thanks thouh tasso!
