has anyone had any experience with these frames? i've found a mighty good deal on one and just wanted to know what people thought of them. i do mainly trailriding but am trying to work up to doing some drops, logrides, etc.

We have them (as well as Craftworks FRM125's) at RawNRG Thredbo as the 'deluxe' hire bikes.
They're pretty much ideal for freeride/trailriding, even some light DH, and come with good gear spec.
Must admit, you dont see many of them about - probably due to other similar rides you can get for around the same price...but if you're getting a good deal... - go for it :)

cool mate, thanks

btw, are you guys running standard spec and if not what have you changed?

Spec straight from the factory out of the box at the beginning of the season, and then things like tyres/grips etc may eventually get changed over.
Derailleurs (prone to getting damaged) are sometimes downchanged for a lower model shimano to decrease replacement cost if broken.

zac.. the dnm forks realy aint' worth the dosh.. either invest in a set of races/jr Ts or get some single crown boxxers...

the dnms are the single crown ones - 800 bucks or so

$800!

There is so many other better forks out there for $800...

If you want a Hussefelt double ring with bashguard and Deore front derailer with LX shift pod, email me...

well, i don't want psylos, can't afford z1s or shermans, don't really want dj3s, and basically i've heard nothing but good things about them.

the only other option is to find some second hand ones (older boxxers, jr ts, x-verts, etc) but itll have to wait a while anyway cause i dont have the cash atm (same as for the cranks etc, but ill keep it in mind).

outcast: nah, triple crown boxxers but only if warranty covers it, though im getting it frame only (i think it was brought in as a warranty replacement) so i don't know what the deal is.
