    What is this type of frame? I saw it at http://wwwc2.auctionworks.com/s-

    How would it compare to say, a Giant Fluid Formed 6033 ALUXX SL
    Aluminium XC frame?

    Personally, I have no idea, but I wouldn't buy a cheap frame (any fram
    really) without riding it to some extent first

    You might want to ask in the XC forum of
    http://www.farkin.netwww.farkin.net an aussie mtb site (geared mostly t
    DH, 4X and DJ with a little bit of XC)

    I don't like the idea of buying a bike frame from a site calle
    auctionworks.com - doesn't sounds very bike specific does it

    Also, are those prices in USD? Do they ship to Oz

    6000 series frames are made from an aluminium, magnesium and silicon alloy
    whilst 7000 series frames are made from aluminium and zinc alloys. However,
    each manufacturer is responsible for the frame design, so the numbers
    themselves don't tell you much. For example, it would be too hard to
    compare my Merida (Shogun) 7005 frame to that one just on spec, much less
    against a 6000 series frame from a different manufacturer.

    My Avanti Barracuda has a Kinesis Mega Max 7005 frame.
    I can't make comparisons and not qualified anyway but I don't have any complaints.
    That (auctionworks) frame suits a $600 bike they say and my bike was about $1100 so
    I suspect there is a good deal of difference.
