got my felt jump shot a couple of days ago :) its a sweet bike, super light and is very flickable; dispite the long chainstays...





run down of the specs:
15.5" matt grey frame
dirt jam comp forks (soon to be white marzocchi dirt jumper 1's)
soft compound honda grips
controltech high riser bars
truvativ stem
shimano deore xt hydro rear brake
AC cranks and chain ring
wellgo flat pedals
HALO combat rims
DMR moto tyres

bit of a mix-match of parts but they all do a very good job :)

love the dmr's ... get some :brows: ... im used to knobbly mtb tyres so these were a bit different .. they dont like gravel much but they do feel very smooth on road and roll very well due to the low rolling resistence

as for the chainstay length its 16.9" (430mm) which is quite long as id say most DJ bikes are around the low 16

not sure ... havent counted the teeth
it has a 16T on the rear and the overall gearing feels perfect
id say it feels like a middle chainring front and 4or5 cassette ring rear on a 21 (3x7) geared bike

You should route your brake line normally... having some extra slack up front is never a bad thing, espacially when crashing so your line dosent ket kinked or tangled up when your bars spin around. New stem + micro drive would also suit it very nicely as well. Looks fun though.
