Weight? 😛

24.4 lbs and totally bomb proof 🙂

Oooooh, can’t wait to join this one! I feel like such a kid again, building up a jump bike right now… I’m 32 but despite my lack of ability, its an itch that needed scratching once more!

Won’t be anything special, got a cheap Fire Eye Bloodshot frame off CRC, will be 1×8 geared, Deore disc brakes (its not gonna be a proper full on DJ, more of a rag about HT), just deciding on forks (old school Zocchi’s or newer Rockshox?), a stem, and the rims (are EX729’s overkill do you reckon?).

Mines certainly not gonna be 24.4lb though when finished, even my Ti HT isn’t that light!

Just finished this thanks to the CRC sale and shed emptying session….

I’m 36 and falling off hurts like hell 🙂

dusty trails 😀

Sadly missed after I killed her:

Very nice Hummerlicious. The red and white looks great.

I’ll have to come over to Worthing for a ride soon, whiteways is not much fun at the moment.

Either of these depending on my mood! The Blender is my do it all mtb as well.

@mboy. I’d always go for beefy rims on a jump bike, as they tend to take a beating. I have 521’s on mine.

years ago, i had this

Here is mine. Built up cheap from 2nd hand parts. Love it 😀

Hellooooooo!

There you go . . .

Stripping it down as we speak though – it shares a build with my Blood and after this afternoon’s very gloopy session in the local woods I have a yearning for gears again (mine’s the newer model Sanchez without a mech hanger). It can spend a month or two on my kitchen wall until the trails dry out . . . wishful thinking mode

I like those Giant STPs. What is yours?

I had a go on a light build of a Santa Cruz Jackal and it was really nice to ride. I think an alloy frame and light bits is the way to go if you dont ride too hard.

This was heavy!

And my bmx

Dont ride either of them anymore!

I’ve since sorted the obvious glaring issue. It now has a much shorter stem. Thinking about selling it too

Mine new one should be sat in front of me but instead I have a Parcel Force card 👿

Davidtaylforth – too bad you don’t ride BMX anymore – that was a good table!

i like those Giant STP’s. Also used to like those Giant Acid’s.

I’m too old to be wanting to build a jump bike. I keep bidding low on ebay and hope I never win one…

This thread hasn’t helped!

Tell me about it kudos, I rode whiteways at the weekend not only was it muddy hell, but the logging has destroyed it 🙁

To be fair it’s no less muddy over here though!

@mboy. I’d always go for beefy rims on a jump bike, as they tend to take a beating. I have 521’s on mine.

Yeah, I run 521’s on my trail bike, but thinking the 729’s I have kicking about are probably a bit too beefy. Probably struggle to break them though!

dusty trails
windy pump track

FTFY 😆

DMR Drone (looking rid if anyone’s interested?)

Have a 456 SS too, but it’s a 20″ frame and feels a bit tall for proper jumping.

Martin, I too bid low on ebay but sadly won. This arriving any day…and I can’t jump!

Happy Christmas rocketman, from rocketman:

Picture taken on Xmas day obv the front brake is history and it’s rocking 2013 Sam Pilgrim bars and grips but otherwise as shown

tomhoward – give us a shout boss, I could be interested in that…

my jump bike which doubles up as my do everything bike including commuting to and from work…obviously i dont have the saddle up that high for jumping duties…

rocketman that looks awesome, what is it?

Raw finish 2003 Kona Stuff

rocketman that looks awesome, what is it?

Thanks tom! It’s an NS Metropolis 2

This has just been retired due to finding a crack in the frame..

And been replaced with this…

Sat waiting in the garage for drier days….

Flange, YGM

FINALLY got my Fire Eye built up…

Time will tell what its like to ride, but feels nice in my brief up and down the street test. Bit tall at the front (130mm forks need reducing) right now, but will sort out later.

Dmr is ex mama dirt and still going strong with another owner, the Flow Myth we still have and is a very light weight DJumper and I know they both need bar plugs, that’s my lad he destroys them!

Wow Matt, that’s a blast from the past – great to see it still up and running – looking good too!
