    Good agro hardtail?

    lol rear shock!! Yeh its a horn I retro-fitted onto my Orange so I can scare the sh*t out of idiots who insist on walking in bicycle lanes (we have a major problem with this in Brighton, UK - tourists seem not to see cyclists in cycle lanes). Works a treat!

    Good agro hardtail?

    Orange Crush.... Photo_1 Photo_2 I use mine for everything - XC, street, DJ, light downhill/freeride, North Shore ladders, commute to work. Its stiff, light and hella-strong. Handmade in the UK with top quality tubing. Or maybe if you want more than 150mm travel, then check out the Orange...

    Ktrak video: half-ski, half-bike

    check the link below to see a video of it in action. I first saw this thing at Interbike, and it looked quite interesting. After watching the video, however, it doesnt really look all that. What do you think? Has anyone got one of these things...

    hardtail frame

    sh*t sorry didnt really read the post. yeh if your looking at evil, then also look at Duncon and Nikolai. both pretty heavy duty frames, but both could rock a 2.5" tire...and both tough as hell.

    Urban Assault/DJ BIKE

    have you looked at Identiti and DMR? The DMR Trailstar would probably suit. Its ready out-of-the-box for DJ and urbsn assault, but with 26" wheels and gears its ready for some XC if you want. just switch the tires to knobblies.

    new fully for freeride/downhill

    The Blitz - smaller & lighter so better handling on trails, light freeride and dj. Trigger - bigger & heavier so better handling on big drops, heavy freeriding, and downhill....Its really down to what sort of riding you think you'll be doing more of.

    Who has the best quality full suspension bikes?

    a factor that is not often obvious until you see close-up pics or ride the bike, is the theory behind the design of the frame...In terms of welds/manufacturing, nearly all bike companies have very good manufacturing processes. With the majority of frames being made in Taiwan where their quality...

    ever heard of DEMON bike parts?

    Back when Marzocchi forks had the bolt-on arch (like you '99 Z.1), you could get after-market products like you 'Demon' arch. It is probably one of these....Ive never heard of Demon myself, and a look on google didnt turn up anything, but I seem to remember they were quite custom back then, not...

    Urban/dj/slopestyle Hardtail

    Ive got an Orange Crush (with a couple of upgrades. I love it because I can do abit of everything on it. Light enough for XC but burly enough for 4X, dirt, street and slopestyle. Its hand-made in England, using Easton RAD tubing, so you know the quality is top notch. (link to a pic of my...

    which one is the better bike?

    . I agree. There is nothing wrong with Kona, but the Versus Blitz II does have some cool additional features like the grease ports and needle bearings. Makes servicing nice and easy. The Blitz frame has some lovely attention to detail that makes it look alot more custom sitting next to a Kona..
