I don't sell a single bike that couldn't handle a Monster T just fine, strength wise. But only a few of them have the geometry for it.
Yeah, Have you seen the head tube? like 1/2 inch thick!!!
i want one

is it even conceivable that anyone could break an Imperial? that thing is built like a battleship!
I noticed the Cheeta slalom doesn't have a replaceable d' hanger, what's up with that? Is that common on this type of bike? Does the Planet-X bikes have break-away hangers?
Generally any good aluminum bike will have a replaceable derailleur hanger. Steel frames dont usually get replaceable hangers because if they get bent out of shape, you can usually just whack them back into place. Steel is nice that way. When aluminum gets tweaked you cant depend on it any longer, hence the replaceable hanger.
On a completely different notes, guess what everyone! Frank The Welder has decided to offer stainless steel dropouts for his DNA frame
cool, sort of like the stainless steel derailler hanger on the Imperials. A whole SS dropout isnt going to be a cheap option i bet!Originally posted by Unreal

Man, you have GOT to love stainless steel. This shop I used to work at here in Seattle used to make complete stainless steel frames. Man, where they pretty. A little whippy for my taste (pretty small gauge tubes and a very conventional design not well suited to my gorilla ass), but a good feel. The frames where absolutely gorgeous though, theyd polish them, then mask and bead blast them. It would give a great frosted look to the polished stainless tubes. I heard machining the BB and headtube was a bitch on tools though.
this is my urban/dh/freeride/dual bike
i replace the the crankset for a race face turbine whith ac chainring

This bike hasn't been photographed much standing still, but there are some good dirtjump pics of it. Actually a couple were on the board today.
Chainstays are set at 15.7 in this pic, has a Z1 MCR, and 2.3 Gazzy freeride tires (which measure bigger actually, the tires are pretty nice). This frame also rocks the Evil guide, Profiles, Stealth hubs, SRAM drivetrain, and FSA skypilot. Titec post, Funn seat, and prototype Evil Stem on board too.

AAAAAAAAAAAH your gonna make me buy an Imperial!!! :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire 
Man, when you dont have to drop too much money into a DH frame, you can really afford to load up on some mac-daddy parts for the frame. Nice bikes!
Holly crap Alain! I had to take a double take at that bike. At first I just thought "BMX" and it didnt really excite me, then I realized "wait a minute, that's MTB stuff hanging on it. Then I realized "Damn, that looks a lot like a LeToy", then I realized who posted the message, and I felt kind of stupid
Thats the most BMX LeToy Ive seen. Looks like a **** load of fun. Thanks for posting it!
Man, I've seen some really sick bikes in this thread. I wonder why more people haven't submitted bikes for my Bike Porn pages? Alain, do you have any specs on that bike? Can I toss it on my website?
this thread should be a sticky IMO. its gotta be one of the best threads...hardtails rule.
naa..i have no specs...i found the pix on Pink bike..and email the guy to know hoo he was....i got the answer..but i dont know the exact spec...
if you go....to the photo section at pink bike and search for 24 toy ...you will have a shiat laod of toys pix and that bmx style one...whit the email of the guy...

i facking love that letoy, it also, is my favorite one.
Yeah, set up like that (huge tires, huge fork), it's not a great trail bike (especially for 6'4" Tom!), but it would rock on a DH course. Tom was launching the thing off quite a few good sized drops, landing front wheel first a majority of the time (he *claims* that was on purpose) and said it felt great. We got quite a few positive comments in the parking lot, too, and that's always nice.
BTW, thanks to Narlus and the gang for hooking us up on that ride.

DHJUNKIE,
your bor's not gonna be able to use lx cranks on the tankass. Your gonna either need profiles or isis. The tankass uses a 100mm bb and the only people that make a bb that will work is profile or racface. Raceface made it for the tomac's and canfield's for an alternative to profile. Also to use profiles you have to get the reaaaaaallly long axle, that measures like 7 inches. I know this because my friend got a tankass and he talked to bill, and said anyone who ever bought a tankass has used profiles, but said a raceface would work.
