2.what are the differences between the trailstar and the trailstar LT?
3. is the side kick basically a 26inch rhythm or are there more differences i haven't noticed?
4. does anyone know prices of the:
trailstar-
trailstar LT-
sidekick-
rhythm-

Trailstar and trailstar LT difference:

Trailstar lt is essentially the same frame, but with a few geo and frame changes, so it takes 5" forks rather than 4".
Lt at my lbs goes for $545

they all basically sell for around 600 at most of my local shops, the diffs between the LT and the normal is that one has welded brake bosses for V and disk, the other has only V and the drop out is removable on the normal

1. no
2. trailstar has tweaked geo for a 5 inch fork instead of a 4" and it has a butt ugly gusset on the headtube/downtube
3. the sidekick is basically a downsized trailstar, not an upsized rythem (in terms of geo)

prices are about $500 for all frames I think.
You know you want one.

1. No. (http://www.dmrbikes.com/products/frames/rhythm.html)
2. Fuck all. Colours, the LT is only mtb BB, slight tube length difference. Trailstar is here (http://www.dmrbikes.com/products/frames/trailstar.html) and the LT is here (http://www.dmrbikes.com/products/frames/trailstar_lt.html).
3. I guess so. Geo differences due to frame sizing too id guess?

Pricing:
trailstar LT- $545
rhythm- $545
from Dirt Works (http://www.dirtworks.com.au)

and
sidekick- $717
from Cecil Walker (http://www.cecilwalker.com.au)

Unsure about Trailstar, better off with LT maybe?

dont knock the gusset :evil: :evil: :evil: think of all that extra strength!

[Joel O]

well if the differences in the trailstars is mainly the fork lenght they're designed for maybe the oroginal would make a better urban frame?

Regarding ordering a new frame, you can only get the Trailstar LT in "mtb" config. Rhythm is available as frame or complete, it's 24" specific. Sidekick and Trailstar aren't selling in Aus anymore. $545 is retail on the frames.
