Hey guys, just got into mtn biking a few months ago, and am a bit annoyed with the frame on my bike. Not only is it a size too large for me, but it's heavy as ^#%!& as well. It's also made of hi-ten steel, which I've heard is bad, though I wouldn't really be able to tell you the difference between this and another frame other than it's heavy. (this is an old giant acapulco btw). But anyways I was browsing around ebay a few weeks ago and found an 18.5 aluminum frame with a low bid price, so I bid on it and actually won the thing for $15 (30 ship, $45 total). But basically I'm wondering now if I did something really dumb and got a junk frame or something really smart and got a good frame for a good price. I don't really know much about it except what's written up on the seller's site 7005 Aluminum Mountain Bike Frame 18.5 New.
Can anyone tell me if this is just a generic thing that's gonna break after hitting the first big bump or would it be more likely they made too many and I got a great, just unbranded frame? If you need to know anything about it just ask, it arrived last week. Thanks for any info.
