best dirtjump, street bike?

[giant stp1 07]

hey all

what is the best singlespeed mountainbike for dirt jump, street, and a little bit of skatepark???

is the ns capital good?

 

[I_EAT_DIRT]

There is no real "best" dirt jump/street bike, however, some are better than others, eg, black markets, NS Bikes, last bikes, are usually bhetter than some other brands like, Giant for example. Usually you get what you pay for, if you but a cheap bike, expect a cheap ride, if you buy an expensive bike, expect it to hold up very well.

And yep, capitals are pretty nice, but i think they are 24" wheel specific?

If you have like $2500+ then a Leaf Cycles/Blk Mrkt bike is the way to go

 

[nick_sixx]

You should also look at a Norco Bushpilot....amazing

 

[Suburban rider]

NS suburbans or the new NS majesty would b the way to go i reckon

IMO custom build one, you have fun doing it... while you can choose what the spec is...

Theres a nice Transition for sale, probably worth a geez.

 

[mantisEX[alt]]

depends how much money you have, probably a 26" ns suburban, are you looking for a bike to build/buy or is this hypothetical?

 

[DH69]

a GIANT STP1 07 is the best ever

If I had the money that's what I would be doing every time I buy a new bike. Love to customise them, from the main components right down to the anodised stem spacers and bidon screws.
I'm sad, I know.

i reckon a blk mrkt/ns/npj custom build would be what i would go for

Yeah, I loved building up my bike and getting the parts bit by bit and knowing that there's not another one like it in the world
Lots of fun.

 

[nick SPEAK]

i would have to say Ns or Black Mrkt
Eastern Nighttrain 09 model are pretty sick as well

..

i just bought a norco ryde and i am loving it, it is also relatively cheap so you would be able to do a few upgrades for the same price as a black market.
