Yes as a previous owner of a traildigger 26" I can vouch for this, I bought it as a newb with no idea, and it was the worst purchase I ever made.

They have put no thought into it and keep making it each year without putting any tech into it...pfff

Personally it is the fav of my bikes to ride at the park :eek:, similar geometry with a slacker head tube is what i will look for in my next frame.

Im a fan of the Last Rufus & the Atomlab Trail has a sexy look.

Why are you chasing old frames?

Can't afford anything new at all! Especially when you take into account all the new parts i need also ;) haha

Forks, sproket, chain, wheelset, seat, post, bars, headset, crankset.. Pretty much everything =O

I have no idea what size it is, but its pretty short(ish) and i have it 24" so then yeah, it is really long, but for 26" it would be good.

Finished upgrading my NS (for now)!







Went out to a local dirtjump spot I used to ride years ago. The jumps seemed pretty small, but it had a cool little dirt spine. The bike felt good, the longer back end really came into its own at the trails.

I'm so happy with how its come along!

No seat tube at all, it's cut flush. Run a wedge post.

Can't wait to do some more DJ's on it :)

Thanks man!

The rims are Echo SL's. Technically a trails rim and not designed for the purpose, but they were there at the time...Seem to be holding up ok thusfar.

I really like the cable. It is on/off, which I like in a brake on a DJ bike. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I prefer it to a hydro on this style of bike. Also a lot less mainternance and mucking around than a hydro!
