Choices! New Dirt Jump frame

[sekops]

Im contemplating on buying a new bike frame to replace my old but good STP w/ 24" wheels. So Im basically thinking between the Yeti DJ 2010 and the Last Cord 2009. The difference in price is phenemeonal, but YETI to me has some pluses. Here are my comparisons, but somehow i prefer the CORD

Positives
YETI : Lighter(2.2kg), good Chainstay lengths
CORD: Cheaper, TT lower height, runs 24 or 26"

Negatives:
YETI: Expensive, only runs 26"
CORD: Heavy (2.75 kg)

What do you guys think? Basically at the moment, i have issues w/ TT height being too high, and the BB being too low.

how about an ns suburban they can run gears

 

[sekops]

No way , I had no idea the surburban could hold gears, and it has a euro BB, so ill save the weight by getting a simple SLX/or Saint crankset

I gonna defintetly look into the surburban

24" NS Suburban suits what you want, is reasonably priced if you buy a model a year or two old and is an awesome, awesome frame!

 

[sekops]

Yeah, the surburban, for sure. 26", Sure wished chain reaction had the orange one though. Man im getting pumped.

Ah but there is aftermarket hangers for both these frames and the Shine dual frame.

Turns the two4 and two6 player into a deadly little all round frame, unfortunately trying to get them in near impossible even for us: just too many selling straight out to europe!

We started Dartmoor in Australia mid last year, They have been outside europe now near 2 yrs, only really coming into the spot light the last 6 months. Be prepared for some big things in 2011 and now that USA and Canada have distributors they will start popping up on their forums.
