bbspolo

thats nice but gears?? rearly on a jump bike?

sm

was mainly used to ride about town, quite a few jump bikes use gears, if u wanna go single speed buy a bmx

pollocks

azonic ds1 i had one one them ......................



replaced with this ms isle



didn't like the alu frame prefared steel so got this

bbspolo

would love one but im far 2 tall for a bmx! lol
ive got a 69er for round town and hill work and a p1 single speed for jumps best of both worlds!
quite fancy a road racer now though!!

Thats some going

sm

nice

im pretty sure mine wont break, the other 2 evo's ive had didnt , i wont be using it for anything major ill save that for my bmx's

missile is nice

go hard or go home this is what happens when you practice downhill on a ahrdtail to make you smoother/faster and come off a ski jump which hips in the air you come off the jump go bigger than ever before put the bike completely sideways and hit a tree properly sideways properly fooked and to add insult to injury a few weeks back a lad who works for orange in halifax did the same to his oranmge 224 evo with boxxer world cup forks both fork and frame were fooked !!

on the plus side he got both replaced under warranty unlike my wee ds1 lol

pollocks

no my mate dud never broke his and he rde more hardcore than me just the luck of the draw lol thansk for teh comments on the ms isle some young lad has it now and just keeps adding stuff you don't need like 6 inch travel forks so probably rides like a lazy chopper now lol

so your building anoyher one kev funnily enough my last one looked very similar too your last one lol how ya doin mate?

sm

ur never too old or too tall for a bmx, im just under 6ft and ive known riders who are 6.5 who ride a bmx no probs just gotta build a bike to suit your height ie frame, crank lengths etc

any pics of the p1, my mate has a very good condition p3, hardly been used

I'd put a claim in for the snapped frame, and use the cash to buy a new carpet.

sm

lol that will do it, ive hit a few trees dong downhill on my old azonic eliminator full sus and it dont half hurt stopping from 20mph dead into a tree


ello rob

yeah gonna build another one, keep lookin at pics of my old one and want another plus ian and adam have dmr's and luke has scotts old gt

hey mate no i had it in the hall way and a bloke came up with a mate too buy a car off me and his mate asked if wnted too sell and i said erm never thought about and he offered me silly amounts so i helped him too the car with it lol kinda regret it now but liam was on way so proritys an all that but may build another if we all gonna start riding again howz things down your end of town?

sm

ahh k, yeah u should build another one, its that time of year to be cruising along the seafront stopping off for a beer and then cruising back along the seafront again, shame your shoulder cant take riding a bmx again, how is liam and v doing?

Good Man Kev, get it built !
Heres mine:-
This was my town / hack / jump bike, but now really an off roader:-


As it has been replaced by this one, my current favourite bike, bomb proof, well except from punctures:-
(excuse the picture quality, taken when first building it up)

I've got some of them forks in my shed unused. They any good.

boost mad

cant find any pics of my jump/ hack bike

but here are some pics of my other type of jump bike.... trials

boost mad

iTrader: (8)

found a couple mid build

sm

dans prob is more than likely a wiring prob i would of thought considering it was running all fine before the rebuild







after seeing urs and adams plus pics of my old one made me decide to build another one


longdog

imo they are some of the best sus dirt jump forks forr the money

had them on both my old ds1 evos and will be having a set for my new one

bromley

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, they're good, i like them, don't think they'd be mutch cop off-road, but they're ideal for street etc, taking any big hits etc. Plus are quite tunable for, depending how much oil / air you put in them. I've give them some abuse on a regular basis and have had no problems other than a duff one off seal.
