OK, I'm riding a Pimp 2 right now and I love it, it's awesome.
Bad news is it fell off of my rack at 65 mph. :poster_oops:

I'm going to replace it and I'm trying to figure out if I should get their new Trailking.

I'm not worried about the price difference, its the chainstays.

I'm actually worried the back end will be too short. Going from a 15.7-16.5" chainstay to a 14.5-15.5" seems like a huge difference.
Thats shorter then my Echo pure trials bike.

What do you think?

I think that frame (trailking) is awesome. It will probably feel really nimble and pop really well. That's still longer than bmx chainstays. That bike has a pretty high bb, as well. Actually, I think the bike's overall geo is pretty progressive... more bmx style and less mtb style. I think you'll start seeing more and more frames start to go that direction. It should be money for dirt/park/street.

If you do get it, let us know what you think after you get used to it.
