NS Metropolis Jump Bike Frame
I decided to buy a cheap jump bike frame to swap the majority of the parts off of my Dialled 4x bike onto and then Sell the rest of the 4x parts separately and see if that makes it easier to sell.
I found a reasonably priced NS Metropolis frame on eBay so I bought it and I will build it up when it arrives next week.
The frame looks to be in pretty good condition and I think that it will make a pretty good riding to work bike as I don’t want to use any of my BMX’s to ride to work on a I don’t want to get them stolen. I am also thinking that this bike will be good to ride in the skatepark too and also mess around on riding around town too.
If I don’t end up liking it then I will give it to my son to ride to work on instead of his BMX as it will have a hydraulic brake so will work well in all weathers going down the massive hills that he has to go down which will be much better than the BMX that he rides at the moment!
The frame also comes with a headset so that saves £30 on the build!
If I do like the frame then I will save up and get some DJ forks for it to make it a fill on DJ bike later on.
I figured that this was the best option as I have had no luck selling the 4x bike and I have had it for over 2 years and only ridden it a hand full of times and I think that I will get more use out of the jump bike than the 4x bike. Also the 4x bike looks way more expensive than the jump bike does so I will attract a lot less attention than the 4x bike when locked up in town!
I also did not really want to sell the wheelset as they are really good Halo wheels that were a lot of money and are worth a lot less second hand so I think keeping them and building a jump bike makes more sense than losing money on them!
