After much debating and talking with friends it is decided that i do not need 2 hardtails. I feel more comfortable on my Cowan anyways(If i could just get myself out of my head i can do more things on it) Anyways i digress.

Some of you know, i won a Diamond Back Assault at the Gathering. I have one person thinking about buying it. But if they cannot do it. Would any one be interested in trading a f/s frame straight across for it. I am looking for something like a 2002 med bullet or a 2003 med stinky frame.

The bike has only seen 3 rides, 1 urban and 2 SST rides. The only things i have done to it is remove all the stickers on it(they look stupid) and i put a spring into the right leg of the Dirt Jam(its worse then a rock shox indy otherwise).

Thanks.

You might have more luck if posted in buy and sell.

price?? or just trade?

 

[KNine]

I prefer a trade if i can get away with it. I don't think i couls get what i want for it. I am not asking retail. But i do have a fair price in mind. It is just easier to do a if i can get what i want. As ofr listing it in buy and sell. I will list it on the our boards B&S but not the main. I want to deal with someone local. Less headaches.

I have not heard anything about the dirt jam. How does it work?

 

[KNine]

To be honest it is the worst fork marzocchi ever made at least if your a large rider and if i was going to keep the bike, i would put at least a DJ3 on it. I put it on par with a Rock Shox Indy. So Jason at Old Town Bicycle put a psylo spring in for me. Its better now, but if your use to a top end fork, it is just not the same

 

[ioscope]

well what's the story?? Does it have damping? an oil bath?? or just one spring =like a judytt

Here is the description from Marzocchi.

TARGET WEIGHT
(without steer tube) 2470 g.
DAMPING SYSTEM

* One side: Open Bath SSV System w/Air
* One side: Long Coil

ADJUSTABILITY

* PL
* One side: External Air Preload

SPRING TYPE

* One side: Long Coil Spring
* One side: Air

TRAVEL 100mm
STANCHIONS
(inner legs)

* Ø 32mm CR-MO Steel
* Nitrite Black

STEER TUBE Reinforced Steel
DISC BRAKE MOUNT XC INTL STD 6" Rotor Setup
DROP-OUT TYPE Standard

what we did was put a spring in the right leg and added a little more oil I have never ridden a Judy TT.But all i can say is that the compression and rebound is fast. The other spring was added so it would not bottom out.

Nevermind i am no longer interested in selling or trading it. I am going to tear it down and use the rims, crank/boxguide, deraillieur, and shifter on my next build. I am going to give the frame to a deserving friend of mine. As for the brakes,fork, bar and stem i have no idea what i am going to do with them yet.
