This is my new frame, a brand new DMR Trailstar LT. I love it. Perfect geometry (well for me anyway) Thanks to those farkiners who advised me to choose this over the RM flow, i appreciate your wisdom. I can already tell that this frame will be good for all riding styles. And yes! it is good to manual.
It is also surprisingly light for a cromo frame and can easily be thrown around. STEEL IS REAL
The firefly forks feel so much better than they did on my old frame and are perfect for the dmr. I also bought some new handlebars(Answer pro taper) , which are again perfect.

Some specs: (mostly off old bike, FELT fs900)

Frame: DMR trailstar LT in black (size 14")
Fork: Manitou Sherman Frieflys
Rim: DICE 26 (on back)
Hub: FELT (off old bike, their pretty much Deore copies)
Tires: Old Ninja DH tyres
Cranks: Race Face Prodogy
Pedals: Crappy old treking fox ones
BB: Raceface something
Brakes: Shimano Deore Hydro up front and mechanical on back
Saddle: VELO (only the best!)
Handlebar: Answer ProTaper 2" in gold
Stem: Aireal Ind. Lifter stem

No excuses now.
Spotlights on you now.
Well theres no excuses for you either Oli. Your bike is just as good

And LEX as I said it is very easy to throw around. So it is also good for urban/street riding. Being cromo gives the back end a bit of give which makes for a smoother ride.

I rode it today mainly on downhill tracks and a few big gaps and it takes everything well. Its good for tight tracks and is exellent for cornering.

nice looking bike. i saw it today at nerrina and looks sweet. love those forks.
Thanks man, today at Nerrina was the first place I rode the new frame and it went real well. I love Nerrina, i'm so lucky just living down the road from it, i should ride there heaps more. But I will now with the DMR, it's pure brilliance!

Hows your mate after that big stack? That was pretty tough eh! I hope his alright :(

if you run yes than 50PSI that dice rim is gonna get fucked over pretty quickly, the sidewalls collapse.
That 26 rim will die very soon because I have already callopsed a bit of side wall. It snapped clean off. Have a look in the pic, you can see the red electrical tape were i'm protecting the tube from getting punctured from the snapped metal. The Dice 26 are realy only race rims only!
