[Closed] 5 - 6" travel frames?

Should have told him it's better of overshoot 😉

he did over shoot the first dj and landed on the take off pretty much for the next then hung 50/50 🙂

Just seen a 2009 Cove Hustler on CRC for £ 999.98p Bargain
and have all different sizes

In summary; overshooting is bad mmmkay, but hooking up is (broken bike) worse.

I hate to say I told you so... 😉

i was talking tables and basic drops as you know.

Not a fan of the Commencal? Would have thought the Mini DH would be perfect...

Chumba XCL is 5" 68 HA with 140mm forks, pretty tough by 5" travel standards. Vid here of someone riding down A line on an XCL. Bargain £899 as well 🙂

Norco Range.

well I still can't see many 5" travel bikes being able to withstand the sort of abuse jedi is going to make them suffer.
Nowaday 5" is pretty much XC travel.
So my dear tony you either bit the bullet and go bigggggggg or you just get something a bit older when 5" was FR 😉

arrgghhhhhhhh i cant decide what to do 🙂

I'd go mondraker Dune, Alpine 160 or the new Chumba Evo.

I'd go for one of the bikes I listed on page two cos they are actually designed for drop offs and jumps, unlike alot of the bikes (long travel trail bikes) which others seem to be listing

Winstanley have the Cove G-Spot for £200 off at the moment.

You know it's the right choice.

I thought it was going to be sold with the option of either an Elka coil shock or a Fox air shock.....

A new, custom valved Fox Van R shock would only be £250. That said Petey seems to be coping with a air shock at the moment (albeit on short runs 😉 ).

You know you deserve it.

Hummer? 😉

lol. i got a hummmer as you know 🙂

specialized sx trail
orange alpine
intense ss
morewood kalula

a lad i know had a mythic(banshee) rune,told me it was really strong and a few weeks later he literally folded the top and down tube.he was a smooth rider aswell.
he now has an alpine.
i have a patriot but unfortunatly not made any more.

Titus el guapo? Look purdy too! And could get a bargain as they've just been bought out

Sorry - couldn't resist. 😈

I know its been mentioned and you've ridden mine - but the Voltage is awesome. From the few rides I've been on it rocks and pedals so well.

Just needs some lightening and should be good for Singletrack and the bigger stuff 🙂

PLus if you can get a FR30 the frame is the same as the Frameset but cheaper 🙂

i cant decide what to do at all 🙁

i cant decide what to do at all

lol@ a furious. one of those didnt last long at herts

😯

Offer discount to those people who come on skills courses with a bike you are considering 😈

pmsl @ discounts!! 🙂

due to this thread i've had a re change of mind and just ordered a Cove G spot, was going to get an Ellesworth Moment.

Jedi if none of the industry bods that lurk here offer you a trade or less frame that fits the bill, ride any old crapper that does just to show its the rider not the bike until one does....

Surprised given your experience I thought would have known what you fancied to be honest.

i have had 3 mtbs in the past 8yrs. i still have them but have retired the demo9.
bottlerocket is battered as i bought it 2nd hand and the hummer is luverly but coaching and riding herts on it will kill it

i get looked after by my lbs for the past 15yrs or more 🙂

erm dont tell anyone but im buying this as my trail/ hooning around/jumping bike I reckon im buying a dh bike off them as well. But for now ladies and Gents I present the amazing looking YT Industries Play!

(at present rates of conversion price = £1,263.5 FOR THE FULL FRICKIN BIKE!!!! BOOOM! NO JOKE!!)

[img] [/img]

seriously how hot is that? Direct from the manufacturers in Germany, Shipping is an extra €70 but Im off to pick it up and check sizing on a test ride seeing as they are based in Northern Bavaria its the same price to drive and pick both up as it would be to ship (well almost!) plus I get to test ride to check sizing etc.

But please keep it a secret!

that looks nuts! 🙂

Is the bottlerocket broken?

Surprised you have not been offered a deal to good to resist through this thread to be honest.

cant really help, but, my old devinci was a nice strong 6" coil sprung bike do they have anything like a guzzler in the line up these days?

theyre amazing! Im totally blown away by there company they are selling a mint looking dh Bike that I saw all over Austria this summer with a Rockshox vivid shock, boxxers, avid brakes, truvativ componentry, sram x9 gears FOR £1800!!!!!!!!

Check them out at :-

Plus I emailed them last night and I have already received a reply.

Can you tell that I am totally sold on them?

nah its not broken but battered. 🙂 only had it 3-4months

Lots of top choices here. Just wondering if any decision has been made...?

not yet. i'm waiting on a couple of prices 🙂

Curious to know what you've narrowed it down to... or could divulging that info jeopardise commercial negotiations...?

What about some kind of Morewood maybe a Zama?

i quite like the butcher. maybe a yt industries or may get the corperate rocket resprayed and ride it til it dies 🙂

Tone have you had a look at the Foes fxr? thats a strong bike.

gaz, no i havent.....runs off to look

imported by balfa?

Yea balfa, good guys to deal with too.
