mtwallet Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 hi yeah sorry for that,im fairly new to all this. anyway hello everyone im from anglesey north wales, been on bikes since i was a kid but only just moved onto road bikes ( a bit older and wiser). bought myself a damaged 2001 r6 for a very good price but the frame is slightly out(front wheel is closer to the bellypan than it should be) i know i could get it checked and sorted out but there is nowhere close to me and they all want a rolling chasis with engine in to do it which would end up costing a lot more than a good used frame with v5.all the places i spoke to wanted around 350 to sort the frame out plus theres the cost of getting the bike there and back (about a week turnaround) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtwallet Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 thanks for the welcome, im from anglesey, north wales, all the places i spoke to want 75 for checking the frame before any work starts on it, they say its a couple of hours work to set it up on the jig then another couple of hours to slowly pull it back to where it should be, so i think all in all its easier and cheaper to hold out for another frame. the bike still rides ok i dont think its twisted in any way from all the measuring and checking that ive done so theres no big rush to get a new frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
