yes, i do. wanna come work on my trails with Joe C his brother, Nart, and zack?????anybody like the old one better, at least looks wise?
Exactly, and shops always mark it up too so add more onto that. There isn't anything on this frame that makes it more special then a lot of other frames for about half the price.MSRP $650. You have to be joking. Aren't Tonic's like $700? MTB companies never cease to amaze me with the kind of mark up they push.
Hey, I wish there was a "huge mark-up" on a Tonic!MSRP $650. You have to be joking. Aren't Tonic's like $700? MTB companies never cease to amaze me with the kind of mark up they push.
I absolutely loved my old style jackal. Rode great and looked badass. New one is ho hum. I think a big part of the old one is guys always said they were worried about crushing their gear on the "hump," when in reality it really wasn't much of a hump as it was a super sloping top tube.Yay! Another DJ bike that looks almost exactly like every other DJ bike out there!
i think he meant it as why spend that much on a jackal when tonics are nearly the same price and much better?Hey, I wish there was a "huge mark-up" on a Tonic!
If you think producing a frame to this standard, at this volume, at this cost equals an exceptionally lucrative venture, you are very much mistaken.
That said, I'd like to tap your expertise. If you can think of a way to significantly cut our costs while maintaining the quality of the product...I'm certainly open to suggestions. My email is landon@tonicfab.com
That Jackal is pretty neat. Probably the smartest / best looking DO system I've seen.

I was being sarcastic... I've always wanted a Jackal, but could never justify the cost of setting one up and now that I've got a stable job and can afford one, I can't find any. Go figure...I absolutely loved my old style jackal. Rode great and looked badass. New one is ho hum.

You misread what I was saying Landon. This guy got it. No need to be touchy, I fully back what you and Tonic do.i think he meant it as why spend that much on a jackal when tonics are nearly the same price and much better?
I was agreeing with you.I was being sarcastic... I've always wanted a Jackal, but could never justify the cost of setting one up and now that I've got a stable job and can afford one, I can't find any. Go figure...
