I need some help with identifying a potential LRD aluminum frame. A friend of a friend says he has one and im trying to hook up with him to see it. Not sure if it is for sale yet but im going to try very hard to get it.
So is there going to be a build number on it or any other identifying numbers? Build year? And where will the stamping be?Also, was LRD the only aluminum frame maufacturer? Id love to start a LONG term build with a frame like this. I think i remember something about a "baja" or "attitude" aluminum frame and/or maybe another type of frame. Again, im not too familiar with aftermarket frames due to the expense but always drooled at the thought!! So excuse me if im far off. What use is the aluminum frame typically for? ie:xc, woods, mx,dunes. I mostly do trails and pits but if i was to build it and it was for mx, id keep it a trailer queen, unless you all say use it for whatever. I just dont want to ruin it. Any other option to look out for like flip top subframe, pro-pegs, are LRD narrow front ends, No-link, cr5500 link, etc, etc. I dont see myself getting into a crazy frame setup due to the expense, i prefer to build off of a stock geometry frame to cut down on the expnses. But if the price is right i will get it and post it on here. And last, what should i be looking to spend if it is indeed a LRD aluminum frame? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. James
