You sure havent been in school for a longtime....Your spelling is worse then mine...But dont worry, it's the internet you dont need to spell good. Look at the Black Market 357.. Is there a reason you want alu over steel.
cromo is more forgiving and not too heavy depending on the tube set
like steelers said check out the 357 http://www.blackmarketbikes.com/three57.html

if you want a quality used ride and change your mind about steel I will be putting mine up shortly. It's a atomlab gi thats is pretty tricked out. I'll make you a killer deal on it.
Why would you not care for cromoly?
cromoly is the best...
and check out the Eastern nightrain as well, imo its pretty sick but its like 1200

My friend got a nighttrain and it's stupid slack. I'm not sure why a DJ bike would be...
isn't cromoly alot heavier? that's what i though, my friends p1 weighs almost as much as my downhill bike
its all about the build and the frame. The p1 is a very cheap frame made out of (pretty sure) straight gauge tubes. Whereas something like the gi as a nice tubeset made by daytona that is butted to reduce weight. The components on the p1 are also cheap (pronounced "heavy"). If you were to put decent components on there it would be quite a bit lighter. Pretty sure there are quite a few steel rigs out there that are lighter then say, a p2 alu.
Yep. Gas pipe tubing is another way to describe it. Straight ol' heavy tubing..
