giant stp

 

[ioscope]

yeah, and it's cr-mo
and it's 71 degree HA would get twitchy
and it won't take discs
And I don't want to buy that specific fork. It is a beautiful bike though.

 

[ioscope]

YOu're right about the STP steep HA though.

I'm just looking for something I can jump, freeride, and trials on. Something that has a rear weight bias like a DH bike. Hell, i just want a frame.

an aluminum frame that only weighs 5lbs + it has to be burly all under $150 ???...good luck sounds like a dream...I think you need to open up your specifications more...D

 

[BMXman]

there's an old saying in the bike indusry....light, strong, cheap...pick any two....D

Jamis Komodo?

I need a DH bike.

It has to be light - under 10lbs. so I can race it - but burly so I can huck it.

It needs to be under $500.



You're searching for the Holy Grail, dude. As D said, you want light and burly, you need to plunk down the $$.

Perhaps the Azonic steelhead, DS-1, Evolution? There are at least a dozen choices.
Kona Scab
RM flow
Yeti DJ
Mt Cycle Rumble
Kona Stuff, Roast , etc
SC chameleon and their other DJ specific frame

I have an Azonic DS-1..cheap and very versatile

 

[ioscope]

Looks like I'm getting a PX bommer

The guy who would have hooked me up with a rumble is being a bitch.

 

[ioscope]

Check out the syncros mental pedals at twice he weight and price of others

Then tell me price-weight-strength

 

[bballboy388]

get the steel head or a titan from soul or a loki from soul all nice bikes!

 

[chicodude]

I will second the Soul cycles titan........

 

[BMXman]

Maybe a Cortina...but you will more than likely spend close to 275...D

Check the new Felt hardtails, the Jump Shot looks like a good candidate for love.

Hmm...yeah...They fufill all of your requirements, but the MSRP is $440. If you can get a team deal on one or used, you'd probably be good...
