Haha, I don't think he does seeing as that's the list price for those things. Nice bike dude, hope you have fun with it :monkey:

Bad-freakin-ass. That's all I have to say.

BTW- it can't be called the "trail-r-park", dirt brothers has a BMX frame by that name already.

Built weight on it is somewhere in the neighborhood of 36lbs. Not too bad... The frame is 8lbs of that. My big bike is probably close to 44lbs, so this thing feels light in comparison.

Five, I will definitely have to bring it out to the track soon. Have they finished work on the new track yet? They were just starting to tear out the start the last time I was there (a couple months ago).

Actually, I believe that Kyle and Kevin talked to the guys at Dirt Brothers and that they said there was no problem using the name, because it wasnt the same, and it wasnt a BMX

Someone should tell Ellsworth they need to do a bit of research on bike names... they have the "Ellsworth Moment" now, there was already the "Norco Moment". Different styles of MTBs I know... but still...

Yeah, it's done - we've been racing on it the last couple of months. The start is steeper and there's a huge step-up right off the gate. The rest is the same.

Quite honestly, I don't know yet. I have only had 2 real rides on it so far. However, I don't think I am going to find any issues with it. I think I am going to ride RatPac this weekend on it, so I will have a better idea after that.

Kevin (one of the owners of Transition) has ridden his on the shore a few times and absolutely loved it.

BMX BB is pressed in cups, not threaded, you can purchase the MTB Conversion kit seperately that allows the use of conventional MTB BBs. they will accept a 73mm Shell BB with the conversion kit.

nice looking setup, but personally I don't think any bike with bent tubes will ever look as 'clean' as straight tubes
