Do you remember when Lucozade was marketed as a thing to buy people who were ill in hospital?
Sadly yes 🙂
Bez Bez Bez - you’re truly monotonous now
It’s just a silly joke, lighten up 🙂
Like to see you design better
Well, for a start, if you’re going to be taking it off some sweet jumps, you’re gonna need pegs.

Still the best thing for a cold or hangover. Original recipe obviously.
Although a Monster Ripper works well as well if your hanging

Aha Bez your humour is ageing now like a £5 bottle from Coop

Jesus @tdog, did YOU design this? You seem to be taking this pretty seriously. It's an opinion albeit one of a fair consensus. Get over it. If you like it so much buy it, nobody could care less. Hope you enjoy it if you do.
Crikey go ride and cheers will do
I've put an order in. Can't find anything better for the price. Looks like the same geo as the scandal but with 10mm longer chainstays.

That’s certainly how it was when I left it.
ps: There is another version...
@brant
I was looking at the other, other version. (disk)
Except I couldn't find ANY info on it...
If I can fit the wheels, fork, headset, seatposts etc. I got sat about it's a goer...
Other version is rad 😎 . If I didn't already have a 90s jump bike I don't ride I'd consider getting one...

I'm looking for a used frame but I'd go for it if only I knew the dropouts, headset, BB
I got forks, headset, BB, cranks and drivechain, brakes, 142x12 wheels (that would cost to convert or rebuild) but I'm not pressing the button
Cant seem to find the other version on the PX website.
This is the other.other ....
https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FRPXJF25D/planet-x-jack-flash-25-year-anniversary-disc-frame
Rock solid build with retro looks, square stays, external cable routing and rear disc mount mounts. We've updated the headtube to take a tapered steerer but other than that it's still an unashamedly retro 26" wheeled dirt jump bike.
Raid the shed and refresh your old 26er. Pub,Street or Jump bike the Jack Flash is the Jack of all trades.
No fork info other than "tapered", no dropout info, no headset info ...
I reckon by eyeballing it it'll be a 135mm QR rear end, 27.2mm seatpost, 1 1/8" - 1.5" tapered steerer.
Finbar ... guessing the same and BSA threaded but its basically just a guess.
£20 delivery or £20+ for me to get a new axle.... and still not sure of the headtube internals
I got a spare fork I can take down to 130 for free or 100 (for £££) and spare 27.2 seatpost but not enough info to take a punt.
why would you build a dirt jump frame without sliding dropouts? I know you *can* run a tensioner, but its a hack

Cos I've got the wheels... currently sat doing nothing in the shed and a fork sat doing nothing... a Zee mech also doing nothing (that will tension the chain)... the option (original plan) is to find a used small HT frame... but at £200 this seemed less like something he'll just snap in half and better suited to jumping.
sorry, that wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at on-one who are building it 😀
Because the original had vertical dropouts. Back in the day DJ bikes were just small hardtails essentially.
Yeah but if you're gonna fling a modern headtube on you might as well spec horizontal dropouts as well. Would make it a no brainer. Well, besides the fact there is sod all in the way of specs except tapered steerer.
I too find the lack of actual information pretty poor.
Much prefer the look of the 29er Jack flash when compared to the new Scandal, might have to keep an eye out for when they drop the price of the frame only and get one bought.
Got mine today. Only pedaled around a bit on it. Box came in good condition and everything was set up as it should be except the rear tyre was deflated and forks needed pumping up a lot.
Looking forward to going for a blast on it at the weekend.
I just noticed the raw disc specific frame is £99 .
So I have a rough plan of building my son a Hardrail for going to pump track and general Street riding and for blasting around local trails.
Can anyone confirm the BB /headset hub size please ?
Will 27.5 RS 100mm fork with 27.5 front wheel and 26 inch rear work okay ?
Or will it be too "twitchy"
Thanks
Any advice appreciated thanks
Just a heads up for anyone not on their mailing list, the 29er built up bike is now £700 plus postage.
