Hi y'all,

Does anyone have any views on the lenght of time a cross frame can survive?

I'm just about to buy a carbon Alan frame, which is 6 years old...apparently it's as good as new.

Does anyone have any experience of long lasting frames?

Cheers........................Rich :)

Why buy an expensive frame with doubts about it's lifespan, when you can get a cheap frame that will last long enough, at least till the day you want a new one?
Or the expensive frame must be really cool....

Hi there,

well, the list price for this frame is £495.00, but I'm paying £120.00...I'm going to go over it with a fine tooth brush, to check for cracks etc....

Fingers crossed it works out...I'll let you know as soon as I get my paws on it....

Cheers for the advice.............Rich :O

I've just bought an Alan Supercross bike (aluminium) which I'm really pleased with...

Looking forward to getting it muddy next season!!!

Cheers
