Hey guys,
Forgive me but I haven't really read this thread sinec its creation. I am looking at getting a HT More like HD XC HT...I am to big to drop stuff on a HT.
In particular this frame was bought from Identiti and resickered. (It still has the Identiti sticker on the chain stays)
Are these decent HT's....and if so, they are comparable to?
I figured I would run my 1998 Boxxer with original non disk Boxxer hub with Mammoth rim from my old HD XC FS days. I have a set of GT CNC hubs laced up to Mammoth rims. Run V's (Cuz IM cheap) and mostly std drivetrain....maybe freeride cranks (just becase my size)
Just mostly parts I have around I could build a large portion of the bike without new stuff.
What do you think?

there's noting wrong with that at all. if you can, you may want to go for a better "hardcore playbike" type frame such as a Clif Cat Hammerhead or Balfa Minuteman, but those are pretty expensive. a cheap, but very strong alternative might be that frame that's in a recent thread that was like $125(i dont remember the name or anything).
The Identiti is new.
Has anyone ridden one? I guess they are a European frame maker so I guess not to many reach over to the states.
How much do the Balfa and Clif Cat run for?
How heavy is that bike? More importantly the front wheel. I'm running the same rim in the back and it's brutally heavy... but strong. Very very strong... I'm sorta leaning towards a matching wheelset.Originally posted by grimm
true enough
btw, there are more larger and more detailed shots of it at www.grimm.nu
to be honest i have no clue as to a specific weight, but a rough estimate would be above 20kg's
the rims alone are 1,1kg each (according to px's site)
unless the weight bothers yah id say go for it while you still can, the goliath rim is discontinued according to the swedish px distributor
that's a rad bike. kickass. except the fork is maybe a tad out of placeOriginally posted by Warped
it just seems like a with such a bike built up so "bombproof" why would you have a psylo on there? i've seen 2 of them crack on tiny stuff. pimp factor is also low. 
the rest of the bike far makes up for it tho.

What happened? JRA?

I have a JFC and they kick ass!!!!

looks like a bommer
Is that BMW stem really worth $100 or however much it is?? I'd really like one but that's a lot of money for something if I don't know if it's worth it. Also, do you have any pics of the whole bike? It looks like it's pretty sweet from what I can tell.Originally posted by soulrider
I wish I could get my grubby little hands on one of those "holy grail" forks to replace this:

An updated pic of my ride.
Ahhh I thought they were Alex Supra Sigmas. That's what I'm running, it's the same rim, PX just borrowed the design I think.
Yeah, my HT is weighing in at about 39 lbs... well not any more, I just wrecked my 2.5 month old bonty crowbars (XXX DH).
Easily the sickest DMR I've seen yet. Awesome.Originally posted by Warped
...... about the marz breaking on weenie things. heres my storie.
ok i let my friend borrow my old bike with a z1 on it, and he went to lake tahoe for vacation, all he did was ride on asphault, and when he got back i went to the lbs to get the fork put onto my new bike, to find out the steerer was broken! and this kid weighs like 100 pounds tops so ill i can say is WTF???????

yeah they look pretty much the same to me, just that the PX's are way heavier = stronger(?) and has a cooler finish, the alex are chrome, px is matt black
Thanks dw. I guess you had something to do with design of the drs?
The px rims are made by alex... they are the same, the weight on the alex site is wrong.

oh yea and. thats not the fork, similar, except mine doesnt have the indents on the crown as that one appears to have. i borrowed my grips for another toy of mine, and the chain snapped and slid the guide forwad when i was going for an ally oop feeble pedal on a ledge. hey bmx's and i used to do it, why not just grind on the pedal instead of back peg? it didnt work out well
