Since you are asking.
I know where you can get a large 03 DHR for a great price, and I can vouch for its condition as well. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

What's up with the Chumba Wumba - did the deal fall through?

all those bikes are great choices I would think - I'd add a bb7 to your list as well.

Yeah and he lives in IL, so you know it couldn't have gotten ridden that hard.


I say stick between the turner and the v10.. totally different setups in the rear. But both pretty solid designs.

Sounds like a dream made in heaven to me

 

[laxincubus311]

will the 888 work well with the turner, what u guys think

 

[Mallet]

The Turner / 888 combo sure sounds Sweet to me!

 

[Li'l Dave]

I think that would be a good match with a 7" 888. I would still rather have a Dorado though. If you're serious about the Chumba, make sure you're ready for a really low bb.

 

[samich457]

Chumba has too low of bb for me. My choice would be the Turner!

 

[Li'l Dave]

Too low for me as well, I can't get used to it.

 

[Pegboy]

Yeah, if you don't like the 14.6" height of the chumba BB, I would definitely look into the 14.6" BB height of the Turner.

good point. Seriously though, i think the chumba is lower than the 14.625 that they have listed on the site

 

[laxincubus311]

i never said i didnt like it lol. are the 2003 turners a decent bike for taking off some drops like 10 footer, to tranny of coarse and also does any 1 know where i can see all the specs for the 2003

 

[Curb Hucker]

my RFX took 12'ers to trannies with no problems so im guessing that a DHR could too

 

[Zoso]

7" 888 is a perfect match for a DHR. The DHR is slightly steeper than most frames, so the extra height of the 788 with the stock crowns works great. I think it puts the HA in the 66-ish range. For racing and rough riding, its a great combo. It'll be a bit heavy (03 DHR was like 13 lbs), but it'll kick ass and take names all day.

My vote is for the Turner. Nothing says "badass" like dual top tubes.
