you buy the 125 60% for the frame, why would you wanna get a new one?

really simple.
find which frame fits you beter.
buy that one.
it's pretty pointless buying a wanky frame if it fells wrong for you.

DMR is probably better for dirtjumping... but norco is more versatile (gears etc..) then dmr has better frame, but limited to 24" wheels... it's a hard call

frame only? what about a .243 racing? Way cheaper than Dmr's
Not when you can get a Trailstar or Rhythm frame for $549 (rrp), but they're very different bikes to the 243.

i jumped both of them today at windsor and i have to say i feel more at home on the one25 cos its generally a bit bigger bike but the rhythm still felt awesome, i dont know, im really stuck

no comparison, completely different bikes, the rythm is much more at home on the urban circuit whereas the one25 is dj oriented, end of story, you want urban, go the rythm or rythm complete, you want a dirty little hoe, get the one25, case closed.

You know, I would've thought the 125 would be better in urban, as it's overbuilt and can take some stupid abuse... whereas the rhythm would be more suited to flowing dirt jumps where there isn't as much impact.
That's my odd viewpoint.

it's a wierd dilemma, dj bikes should really be rigd with gears and urban also rigid but ss, however, norco have gone and slapped a "dj" fork up front, really, this fork is far too big for dirt jumping, i'd have 40 or less mm travel for dj or urban, so really, the only one suited for one single purpose is the one25, to urban, having a long travel dj bike is useless as all those gooshy inches suck up your speed off the landings
