Can anyone tell me what they think of Subrosa's Letum Dirt for '08? It retails for around $600 and looks pretty gnarly, wanna know what your opinions are.

Yes, I've ridden it, and like I said, it feels "Meh" nothing special, pretty average, feels pretty short and clunky, for the money I'd try something else.

looks like lilydale cycles sell the dirt model for only $580. let me know if you guys think it's worth it, or whether i should start looking at something else. also considering forgotten or specialized's fuse range, thanks to deaks for letting me know where i can find those :)

I'd say definitely go for the Forgottens, they look shweet!

yeah, they're pretty tough, AND they come with comic books! :P the question now is, which one to go for? yarra valley cycles starts out with the venom at $399...they seem to have pretty good prices although the kink range which i'm also interested in are a bit pricier than some other places i've seen.

yea the spec list isnt anything special. Try looking around a bit more, im sure there would be a better bike with better specs for $600

I think you should forget about Subrosa altogether. Ever thought about Eastern, Fit, Kink etc.?
