hey there i'm from the UK, and considering purchasing one of these beauties.

anyone got any examples of the newer one, just so i can see some pics?

they're a pretty rare sight here, so just want to see a few examples before i can order one, oh and see what kinda kit suits them.

cheers,

JK

Now I have it built with dual 24's , a DirtJumper up front, avid mech rear disc brake, Launch rear Blitz front tires, NYC Freeride Glory Hole Pedals .

So far thats my best combo. I dont like the 24/26 setup.

thanks guys. some sweet rides there. might have to get in touch with our distributor!

ill be running probably with a sherman DJ, 24" DHR's, and some bmx parts, either snafu / primo and profile cranks etc.

hmm now what colour! oops color

I wouldn't use a Sherman Jumper, it is way to short, the frame is designed for a 130mm travel fork

I like the 110 Marz DJ setup i got but i think i may go shorter, to 90mm.
but thats me,
Ive had it set up with the 130 Marz Z1 and a 26 nch front wheel and it felt to slack,
so i got a 24but still didnt like it, no i got the 110mm front fork and the 24 wheel, it fells good,

but thats my preference, and I know it was built for 26X24 wheels and a 130mm fork,

good luck what you do, enjoI.

ahh seriously it was built for a 26" front!?

ok, i'll probably go for shermans then. had some on my old bullit, and loved them! or marz 66's, or fox 36's but getting those for my ellsworth specialist.

My BMW Streetsweeper XL is built for a 5" fork as well, but I use the Sherman jumper on there and absolutely love it. It a great fork, and I'm sure the Park would have no problem with it. Go for it.

ummm sepcialist wasnt made for a 6" fork. Also, why do you need 2 jump hardtails?

 

[JK:UK]

specialist was made for a 5", and i don't think an inch makes a huge difference, when my full sus is slack. 888's on demo9.

i dont need 2 jump hardtails.

i don't do much jumping anymore, more riding street, and xc. believe it or not, i use my specialist for XC, 9spd set up on 26", and 24" for street and jumping. i like small bikes. although with a large thomson seatpost, it does the trick.

i also know that an ellsworth isnt designed to get smashes to the frame like bmx's, so id like one bike that is 26" more XC / FR but can be jumped. and one 24" that is steel / singlespeed that is more DJ / St orientated. oh...and the DH bike.
