mate you might need to add a lot more to your description for an honest answer..

what do you plan on doing with the bike? (type of riding)
what quality are you looking to buy? (brands?)
wheel size plays a big part in it too!! as does engine size!!

Heavy Duty Chromolly Twin Tube Cradle Frame, Fits All CRF50 style parts | Mini Bikes | Pitbikes | Dirt Bike Parts & Accessories | DHZ Mini Moto

is this what your after

 

[ajaay]

dhz has one frame and its not even in stock

sorry mate im new to this but mostly tracks like frankston
and im not sure what engine il put in it does it matter much??

cheers guys

 

[sean01]

it matters to wheel size..
10 inch rear or 12 inch rear?

 

[ajaay]

oh and with brands im not to fussed just decent stuff

 

[ajaay]

12 inch feels good atm so i think il stick with it

 

[sean01]

well for the frame and swinga you want to stay with one brand so its a match, you also need to know what size rear to use..

just a heads up tho.. building a custom bike will always be dearer than buying one already built..

as for quality there isnt too much available.. dhz, ciniworx etc. just stick to the well known brands

mmmm may i ask, whats your budget mate?

 

[ajaay]

what do you mean by rear size mate?
yer i realised that but i dont mind im in no rush just buy parts as i go already got a fastace shock with a remote reservoir to use

dont have a acctualy set budget like i said above but i realise its going to be a piece by piece build over a few months or so but wanting decent parts but nothing to expensive cos im only 16 haha dont have much cash flow

 

[viper sx]

i know how it feels,
he means thats swingers have a set size. eg. stock crf50 can only support 10" wheels (i think lol)

cheers mate

 

[ajaay]

ahh i reckon but such is life
oh sweet that makes it clearer

cheeers viper

but yer im just going to stick with a 12

 

[sean01]

what do you mean by rear size mate?

sorry mate. head thinking faster than the fingers can type..

by rear size i meant rear shock size.. ya cant just mix and match without consequences..

 

[ajaay]

[ajaay]

[sean01]

gotta do ya home work mate... like i said get a matching frame and swinga and see what shocks suite it from a complete version

 

[ajaay]
