Build build build!!! (Headache)

I'm wanting to start a build from scratch, and have been busting my balls to try and get hold of a D link frame (which seems pretty impossible)!! Now my question is, honestly are they that much better?? and if not, any reccomendations on any other frame type? (Not Klx style as I already have a Stomp KZ)!! Also cant cost an arm or a leg cause although I have a bit of dosh to spare, I also have a missus !!!

Re: Build build build!!! (Headache)

you can pick up a crf70 style frame with swinger for around the £80.00 mark, not sure on the quality though.

Send a pm to Baddad on here mate, he has a d-link rolling chassis that was for sale, he's a top bloke and won't rip you off but bare in mind it is a complete rolling chassis, not just a frame

Re: Build build build!!! (Headache)

d-links are over rated, the linkage are nothing like mx or nowhere near as smooth, if you got one i would change linkage block to a lxr linkage,
i've had every style of pit bike going and by far my favourite is the klx style pit bikes, ie, the pitster pro x4r and kzr and the crf70 bikes, the xlr and ssr of course both with sp forks and decent shock, i think those 2 handle the best an i progress the most when i had the klx style kzr and x4r, hence why i am going back to a klx pitster pro x4r

Re: Build build build!!! (Headache)

Thanks english jenny thats kind of what I wanted to hear will save me a fortune aswell, I have the Stomp KZ any idea where I can get a decent rear Shock for it from as it seems to be a really awkward length!! I think ill be stripping it down and giving it a bit of a going over!!! also gotta get a new engine (most probably the zongshen 155). Mines fooked!! Thanks!!
