serves you right for spending $200 on a new bike.

the i-drive frames arent exactly the toughest of things.

try to get a hardtail, several are going ccheap in for sale right now

Hah... you get what you pay for eh.
Get a hardtail, you'll be looking to buy 2nd hand at that price.

But you haven't told us what riding you do, so how can we reccomend you anything?

ehhhh my old frame was a full suspension gt i drive 2.0 :?
im about 5 ft 10 175 lbs...mostly freeride..i was thinking about getting an azonic freeride frame? steelhead was on ebay for 170.....or my friend said if i get $200 i can buy 1 at a bike shop because he gets a discount....or if my moms bf stops fucking around and does what he says i can get a santa cruz or a marin :D i doubt it....any suggestions on what frame i should use thats under $200? i live in the usa...in vermont....so o_O not many shops around here
 
The avanti hotdog is a nice frame but the Azonic is IMO a better buy. if theres not many bike shops near u then ebay is a good option but i dont kno wot theyre like with warranty type things. Besides $170 is a quite nice price. BTW is that USD or AUD?

how the fuck are you a freerider on a $200 bike? Just dropping off a gutter is gonna cause your bike a shitload of damage.

ok, On the budget that you are on, you cannot expect to get a whole lot.
As always you get wat you pay for, particularly when it comes to frames.
On such a small budget i would definately be looking at a hardtail as any dually you buy will have something major wrong with it (on that budget anyway).
There are usually a couple of good buys on Ebay, but you never know what you are really getting till it turns up.
The for sale section on here is very good too, as i mentioned earlier in this thread, there is a Giant ACid for sale for $200aud, IMO that is a very good buy, i ride one and they are awesome. But if you said a 15" frame is too small, then the 14" is gonna be even worse (although i 6ft tall and ride a 14" frame).
Just have a look around and assess your options. Hope this helps.
