yep i saw tht buts like 1500 when i last looked idk if i can swing tht ....
Although they are one of the ugliest things ever, look for a Gary Fisher PhD. They are AWESOME to ride.
Love my giant stp, very versatile and cheap, but there are probably better bikes if dj is all you're doing.
If it were me and that were my budget, I'd be looking at going a rigid singlespeed cruiser. splurge on a frame thats light, strong and has the right geometry then go on ebay and do a minimalist build.
a black market maybe?
that or look used...

if you can find a left over nighttrain they can be had for about a grand...or a left over thunderbird for like 700ish I think
almost got one of these when i ended up with the stp. it was indeed fugly
I haven't seen a phd in ages. Anyone still riding one? I'd love to get my hands on one.
dude the gary fisher PhD lol i almost threw up dude thts so nasty looken and yea i found a nighttrain for 850 09 its pretty nice ! i think ill get it
I've got a frame/post/clamp around that is like 6 rides old (too small for me, even though it is a large). Yes ugly, but so easy to toss around underneath you and built like a friggin' tank.
PM me if you're interested.
Oh, with this frame its all about the ride. You forget very quickly how ugly it is when you are on it. I honestly have never ridden a bike that felt so purpose built for jumping. It loves air time.
