I'm currently gathering some money to buy me an Urban/Dirt Jump, I'm only looking at spending $1500 max. I was thinking about an '04 P.1 or an '04 IH Porter, any ideas?? I probably won't have the money till late this year or early to mid next year the way im going.. so please list '04 or '05 models if suggesting a bike.

stp is a great option for that i reckon.
have u thought about maybe getting a sasquatch for the parts, selling the frame than buying a dmr frame? wouldn't cost u that much extra. just an opinion

Giant STP1 for sure! IH Porter has a pretty crappy spec for the price.

Today i was thinking about selling my gemini frame and buying a morphine, would this be advisable instead of buying a whole new new bike??

and besides, it means you'd have to change your farkin name cos you would no longer be a "CaNnOnDaLe RiDeR"!

IH Porter has a pretty crappy spec for the price.
i thought it had a pretty good spec? this is the "pro" model
