i'm lookin into buyin a new jumping bike that can be used for some urban riding and havin fun out on the trails... something that can take hits and keep up with various types of riding (urban, jumping, and some freeride with a lil cross country thrown in) i am currently looking at the cannondale chase or the kona cowan. if anyone has any suggestions or anything to say about the mentioned bike thatd be awesome. thanx

i would get a soul cycles titan, they are inexpensive and my son was riding one until he had to sell it. below is one for sale on here.

here is what his looked like before he sold it. note the pass through seat tube. the seat tube goes through the top tube.

[bigginsr]

The Titan seems like a great deal for the $.

go 4 the Chase or stp

Ive sold a number of the kona "cowen" designed jump bikes . The cowen model is kick ass for the 05 complete bike . also a great and inexpensive frame . Jus my 2 cents , good luck

 

[biggins]

you really cant go wrong with most of the newer models of urban bikes. they all are getting ultra low priced and good builds. the chase does have a killer build for the 1100.00 retail price. Soul Cycles is based in flagstaff az. i was riding a p-1 before my soul titan and i liked the titan way better than the p-1. it didnt feel as squatty and small. the geometry is very similar to the evil imperial as well.

I rode a chase the other day. It was definately nice. Felt a lot more streetish where my cortina feels slalomish, but I still liked it a lot.

 

[HRDTLBRO]

I just rode the base model Chase with V-brakes and a Manitou stance fork, and it was smooth. I like it better than my old P. It's a quality build for the $700 price range. For what it's worth, the new decals look pretty sweet, too. I'd definetly check one out.

This kid really needs a new bike. Please some help him out. He snapped his bottom bracket bunny hopping LEAVES. haha That took him out of the riding game like a shot to the :nuts:

i have an '03 kona stuff thats pretty much the same geo as the cowan but witout the cool drop outs and giro tabs. complete bike or frame only PM me if your interested.

 

[cowman]

I have an '05 cowan and it is awesome. That cool gangsta named "s dub" is wrong about the whole geometry thing b/c my cowan is way easier to pull back and manual than that '03 stuff. GO w/ the cowan. Here she is:

I had ridden bmx for 4 years and just recently made the switch to hard tails I bought an 02 specilized P.2 w/ Dj 1's a couple of years ago. Its a nice bike, a strong platform to start out with, and easy to go big on.

 

[bkbassplayr]

what a beauty... *jealous*... shutup ryan

 

[offdawalley]

the soul titan and the cowan are both awesome bikes, I have an 04 Kona Stuff, I love it, but it is sssoooo hard to manuel, and it is a little long for street stuff but really nice for dirt jumping and freeride, consider an 05 P3 too, if I had a choice between the 3 of them, I'd probably pick the soul titan, its got similar geometry to an Imp

 

[Cash-Money]

the 05 cowan must have had some changed from the 04 model. i had an o4 and cowman's 05 feels alot better. that said i ride a soul cycles hardline, and like it alot, taller 17" seat tube than the titan, and has horz. drop outs

 

[offdawalley]

yeah, don't get me wrong. the 05 cowan is really nice too, I think that and the soul titan are probably the best choices

 

[firetoole]

I also have a Soul Titan and have had it about a year now and live it. you can beat the crap out of it and it's light
