the felt jump shot

[no 20"]

hey guys

im looking for a bike suited for dirt jumping and street riding and i found the felt jump shot and. what do you guys think about the bike and the specs..

thanks:D

[Registered Nutter]

good for dj but dh......maybe

[tim_69]

are you buying it second hand or brand new?

[.:jono:.]

i think u should spend a little bit more and get a specialized p1

[brad of sydney]

i had a felt double shot and it was sweet for dj. the jump shot looks pretty sweet. comes standard with ss. you'll like it.

[no 20"]

im going to buy it brand new not unless some one is seling one that is in good condition.

how much are the specialised p1's??

thanks dude's

[AN AUSSIE]

$1200 for the p1

[rabatt]

some places sell p1's for about $1000, look around you might get a bargan.

Be a bit individual and get the Felt their great looking bikes and it wins the DJ hardtail comparison in CLICT. Their SS which is mad, good geometry etc. GET THE FELT!

[Krusty]

yeh i have the Felt Straight Shot at the moment, it is a great bike for bacially everything.

i use it for dj's, DH, and 4cross. it has great Geometry for racing.

the only problem i had was the stock rims. i folded them in about 2 weeks or riding it on a DH track. also the forks they that come stock aren't the best and will need upgrading within 6months to a year. so i upgraded the rims and the forks and now it runs like a dream.

i would highly recomend getting the jump shot. the frame is basically the same as the straight shot so it will be sweet.

also there are not that many of them unlike the specialized p series bikes and Giant stp's so they are alot more individual.

wells theres my 2cents hope it helps with your decision

hey no 20", have you thought about the felt vintage iron. http://www.feltbicycles.com/felt2006/07CRUISER/vintageiron400cross.php check it out... it's actually quite impressive...good for d/h maybe if you set it up with some nice triples and discs.....


peace

my friend had a jump shot. He cracked his frame riding up those blue coblestone retaining walls. He had to get a new frame which took like 4 weeks. then his forks got mucked up.he has had a bad run

he's not looking at 20" the bike he is looking at is a hardtail mountain bike doofus.


not all the jumpshots will crack like his did, i have had my straight shot (which is the same frame) for a year doing many a wallride and dj and there are no signs of cracking or dents. only scratches :o

the P.1's are still nice but for a little more the P.2 is fantastic for all riding:D


im going to buy it brand new not unless some one is seling
one that is in good condition.

I'm looking into getting a hard tail soon because I'm moving to europe and thought that I'l be doing heaps more urban riding over there than mainly DH like I do here. I have had my eye on a felt straight shot but I fear maybe that it might be not quite as strong as some other bikes. I will most probably still be doing a little DH on it and I have a tendency to be hard on bikes (I Cracked the frame of my 7inch freerider that was 8 months old). I just worry if it would be as strong as other hard tails around. Also, does anyone know how much they weigh?

NICK/krusty...just to let you know, before you shoot your mouth off you should read a person's details.

my point is the guy who started the thread's name is ' no 20" '. Lets not start calling people names either, i don't really take to that too well.

glad to meet you.
have a nice day!

ok mate i didnt mean anything by it, and i didnt mean any offence by calling you a doofus.
and yes i will read a persons details before i post in future
i dont mean anything by this either, and i dont want to start and argument but what you posted didnt really offer any help to "no 20" 's" decision either.

yeah i was looking at the felt aswell, its a great bike, great specs, still trying to find one second hand though, if your not sure about 1st or second hand you might want to check around before you fully commit.
cheers
