Ive been doin the dh fr thing for a while and wanna get into dj and urban. Can anybody suggest a good frame/bike to start, price isnt a big deal but 1500 or under would be nice, and 100 and under would be great.
Thanks

cannondale chase 1, giant stp 1... i can go on and on, maybe a bit of clarification on what you want in the bike, front travel, any other prefences
Get a complete build from Soul Cycles using their Loki frame.
for $1000 you could build a sweet bmx.
should I get a k2 brass monbkey, a gsr hooligan or a kona ?
Have you looked at the Diamond Back Assault? For $1000 smackers you get an out of the box urban/dj and I believe it comes with the frame mount shifter for bar spins and such. Check it out!
there is an awesom nicoli up for sale in the complete bikes forum, i think its $1200, as far as i know its still available
I want it to mainly be a dj urban bike but it would be great if i could also use it as a hardtail dh bike. i have a dh bike but i wanna mess arond on a hard tail to see how it is. Is there anyway it would work to be both a dj urban and dh hardtail?
.243 with a 66 on it...
...that would be steep, expecially with the 7in
I'd just put a DJ 1 or somethin similar on it. 4in is plenty for DJ/Urban
Showa's got a P.2 witha DJ1 and its pretty sweet and burly too i would go with that
if u wanna do both i would go with a soul titan and get a sherman or someting up top.
i personally dont like the way any manitous stuff reacts with the terrain
well then instead of manitou get a z1 freeride
my friend has a z1 and they too suck horribly. go for a dj1 or 2
in my opinion the chase bikes have quirky geometry (long rear end) i have an stp set up s/s with just a rear disc and i love it
I have an 05 stuff that is tricked out... Intense Mag30/Bulb wheelset, Manitou Sherman DJ, Diabolus cranks. Rides nice, but the h/a is a bit steep for some people due to the 80mm fork. I'm upgrading to a Santa Cruz Jackal frame because it has a shorter chainstay and a lower bb which should help remedy the lower fork height up front. Looks like a sick bike and at 500 bones I can't find a negative thing to say about it.
