DH UMF Freddy 2

[motas]

Hey. Just got my first downhill/freeride bike brand new today for $900:

Only been cruising round our farm but a fairly small jump off a shed base was smooth as. Need to find some decent tracks or build some.
Anyone else got one of these? Any other tips for a noob?
Thanks.

Cool mate, that seems like a good price for a new bike. don't know much about those bikes but it looks more than up to handling some dirt action.

Looks awesome mate:fat:

Don't forget to use a template, would love to see what $900 can buy for a DH/FR bike these days:single_eye:

what!?

900 dollars! well done mate!

It was on special from $2800 i think. Seems quality to me and it runs marzocchi shocks (sp?).
Edit: Sorry guitar didn't realize there was a template. Will edit it.
Edit2: Or not I dunno what it has on it.

Is it good? We know the guy at the lbs so i trusted him but i don't really know if there great or not.

 

[needaride]

Even though I thrashed my UMF I loved it, looks like you got a great deal there Motas.

Would love to have started out on something like that!
