very nice man, this will be my next hardtail frame to. were you riding chromo or aluminium before this, and if it was chromo, how do you like the difference?

by the way you're missing a brake

I have really only owned Aluminium bikes so its pretty hard to compare, All my mates have Chromo frames and I've ridden them but I just like the rigidity of alu. Sure its more prone to cracking but its suuuuuper stiff as a trade off, plus they're pretty light.

I normally have my brake on when I go ride my trails, but on the day when I took them photos a mate of mine was bleeding them and sorting out an issue, so yeah thats why they aren't there. I just had to man up and get my smooth on to get through the set.

I would definitely recommend getting one, they're expensive but they ride awesome.

enjoy :)

where's your justification in that stupid statement dipsh#t?

that's a good fork but i would've gone for a different colour option. i would also go for a riser bar, but that's just me. i can't understand all these people putting flat bars on their dirt jumpers, makes tricks like no foot cans so much more difficult. i figure it's usually just downhillers who do that to their dj bikes.

Funnily enough Ebay... I wanted an Amp for ages and I just happened to stumble across it so I had to have it...

Mate I bought the Blue ones cos they never had any black ones left and they were wicked cheap so yeah, I didn't like the blue at first but its grown on me. All my riding buddies have said the same thing, I think it sets it apart...

Also I've tried riser bars and wasn't a fan, I just couldn't get used to it... So lower rise bars it is... I can NFC it without any issues so it doesn't bother me.. And trust me, I'm no downhiller. I've got a Voltage FR10 but spend all of my time on the Amp, I'm a Dirt jumper through and through...

Enjoy :)

Hopefully when I get some more money I would like to get a few more bits and pieces...

I would love a Hope Pro 3 front hub, cos lets face it... front brakes on a DJ bike is not my style,
I wouldn't mind getting something new to replace the rubbish Code R and leave it on all the time, Not sure what though...
And a new seat... I love the I Fly and its got a mad grab on it but I've landed on it 1 too many times and it really hurts doing so..
A few people have said that I should get a new stem but I love the V one,

what do you think?

Cheers
Matt :)
