Weren't they DDG?
yes thats what i have been told. Apparently there is not many made.
right
bommer no nothing to do with DDG pish
i had one built for me
they were all custom built by tom barker and ridden to world cup level by his son
although all individual they do have a penchant for being long and low and this is what got me in the end , fine at fort william , handled really well at speed super stable and low BB. 10 inches of travel
BUT on tight twisty stuff like dunkeld it was a handful
URT or not it didnt really effect it , it was still a stormer to ride ! the pivot and the BB were VERY close together so it was still relitively active - its not like the URT of old.
Finishing wasnt quite the best but for the price they were a great riding bike if your riding WC courses all the time !
how much is he looking for, what shock and what colour is it ? Mines cracked in the end at the headtube but it took a thrashing 😉
how much do you want for your orange muthahubbard? he is limited to £900
its white its got fox 40's on up front & a fox shock on the rear not sure what type of shock. The lad wants £900 for it.
that's convenient
a little more than £900 but its all new gear and in mint cond see my ad in the classifieds ifhe can get more money its a really nice bike.
