I've been out of the game for a while, a buddy of mine has a '04 Mosh Brass Star 2 frame and i was wondering if it would be a decent frame to build up, i could probably get the from for around $30. Didn't want to spend 250-300 on a frame if this one will work just fine. I mean all the other parts will be bought over time, new rims, forks, bards, crank, all that good stuff, thanks

mude

its kinda heavy but you dont seem like a pu**y so it shouldnt matter

KinetikBiker

Its a solid frame, but kinda heavy, like mude said.


Yeah.

livinloud4life

thanks, for the replies, yeah i'm no lightweight either, weight about 230, and only 5'5" and no i don't look like a sumo wrestling midget. The urge is killing me to ride, i was getting ready to get a bike back together then broke my arm and now everyone is back into riding a lot. So i cannot wait.

Broken bones suck. Atleast you only broke your arm- you could still walk.

yeah i've screwed my knee up on a bike once, knocked me out a good 4-5 months, tore my acl, and cartilage and both sides of my knee, hurt like a mofo

FitRider 921

Yeah, that's about as long as I will be out. I'm sure people who have been on this forum for a while have gotten tired of me saying this, but I completely destroyed my leg. I broke my tibia, fibula, and tri-plane... or something like that. I broke my leg in 3 spots... that hurt like a mother.

I would be sick of it but i have been away for a while! Hows it healing? The plaster not off yet?

FitRider 921

lol that's nice.. and it's healing okay I guess.. I have to go back in about a week and see how much it has healed. The bad thing was that he had to rebreak it like a month ago, so that backed up my healing a bit. But I went last week and it had just started healing. I won't be getting my cast off for a long long long time... like 3 or 4 months.

yep, the physical therapy was a *****, my leg still to this day isn't as strong as my other leg and its noticeable to looks and that was like 6 or 7 years ago. Oh well, thank god i'm getting back into it, actually going to by the frame and the crank and pedals, gettin a good deal do. Nice to have good friends that will cut you deals and

FitRider 921

Yeah your physical therapy was probably worse than mine is going to be because yours was like all muscle. Luckily for me, my legs aren't very strong at all, so I probably wouldn't even notice that much of difference... for some reason I have a very strong upper body, but a weak lower body... I can bench a lot more than I can leg press.

livinloud4life

yeah i'm the opposite, in high school about two years after this i could leg press around 400, good luck with the leg though

FitRider 921

Yeah I'm 5'5" 125 and I can bench 160-170 but only leg press like 120-130 (when I had the use of my other leg)... I didn't like working out my legs that much. And thank you, I need it. I need it to heal and then rehab it fast so I can still play baseball this year.

Wow, I have no problem leg pressing 475kgs...

but I have trouble benching with 60kgs.

ridin, is a good workout overall, especially if you ride in the streets

KinetikBiker

Any type of bike riding is good exercise...

livinloud4life

yeah, i was just using street riding as an example cause you gotta pedal everywhere, yeah parks you pedal a bit but not half as much as true in the streets riding
