Has anyone heard of MR BIG downhill bikes?

my pal is thinking about buying a second hand downhill bike called a MR BIG. Was just wondering if anyone owns one & what they ride like. thanks

made in a geordies garage are they not?

using a urt design?

he should buy my mint 224 im going to put up for sale soon, nae even a scratch or heel/cable rub on it..mail in profile if he is interested… 😉

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.
