Team Banana

Are these team banana frames worth getting or not, it appeals to me because of the size (having trouble finding a small frame) plus this one is not far from where i live.

I had one.

depends what you want it for.

cheap commuter or long distance keeper?

they're ok if you don't mind the weight and the fact they have a tendency to give way around the head tube

I got one. Yes they're a bit heavy (It's not 531), but they look cool and I hardly have to maintain it much. Use it for commuting.

You sure that frame is the right size for you? Looks like it's sized for a 10 year old...

I have a 21inch and it's a tad to big, i have short legs BTW hence the difficulty in finding a decent frame.....why are they all around 23 inch, anyway what about this.

Most Italian frames have Italian threading, funnily enough. You can get bottom bracket that fit in most online bike shops.

Columbus Aelle is a decent tubeset, akin to 531. I'd pay £30 for that I think (although being 6' 1" I'd look ridiculous on it!)
