hiho. I want a new frame but im asking alot. Im buying halo combat rims in 24". When the bike is built its going to me used as a mode of transport but only around my small town and maybe 5 miles max and thats not often. I want it to have a low top tube and
2.3" tyres. Also I will be riding in some woods with the hard dirt but then like dusty/dirt (if u you know what I mean, lol, basically in woods but not wet and sinky dirt).

Caan anyone suggest a frame?? I only want to spend £150 max so can anyone suggest a frame like this (im going to look second hand). I like identiti's/orange/24 seven, anything like this.


I also have a derallier (sorry for spelling) triggers and can get the cassete for gears but im not sure, should I stay single speed???

I also found these that I like:

I also like the transition (DMR) but I dont want to spend so much really as I may need to buy new forks Frown

What would be the best bet you think?

well just keep looking for one that catches your eye and if you want to put a chain tensioner or tug's on your bike get one with horizontal dropout's
