Voodoo Rada 853 Frames - Opinion / feedback

[chris217]

not sure this qualifies as Retro however i have my eye on a Voodoo Rada 853 frame which is currently £290.

anyone have one, ridden one, have any feedback on bike quality, ride quality etc ??

i would need to source some forks however not a major issue.

assuming the usual 853 ride quality however i am a bit new to 'Steel' so appreciate some help...

cheers

Voodoo was established by Joe Murray who founded Kona so has a decent history / reputation. The Rada dates from about 10 years ago which probably accounts for the decent price - there were a few heavily discounted ones on the market a few years ago. I expect it will handle and feel like any steel-framed bike, a degree of 'zing' and liveliness on the road and as 853 is slightly oversize, certainly will be stiff enough for most.
